It's a direct quote of a police captain.
Anyway, my money is on the dead perp being an illegal alien.
Probably also at least one of the victims:
Through translator Yajaira Cruz, pickup owner Luis Zarate said a man with a bicycle approached his truck while Zarate was doing landscaping work with a crew. After noticing the man near the vehicle, he called out to him, but the man jumped into the truck and drove away leaving the bike. He said he had left the keys in the truck.
I thought that only happened in Video games.
