The alleged thief wasn’t aware that the vehicle was being tracked, officials said.
Authorities found several bullet casings and two cars with their windows shot out.
Officials are determining if the suspect will be charged in the fatal shooting.

So the people across the street from me, that use an Airtag to track their cat, are criminals?
(It’s kinda funny to see them out, staring at their phones, looking for their cat.)
The palace could also be your mobile tool bin. That’s unforgivable to steel a man’s means of livelihood.
Apparently this man’s FAFO meter was way into the red.
Time was when stealing a man’s means of conveyance (horse) would result in a long drop with a short rope. When the justice system treats you as an inconvenience when you are wronged and lets criminals plead down charges to the level of picking flowers without a permit don’t act all surprised when people take justice into their own hands.
This is the result of a broken justice system.
Justifiable homicide.
My bet is the thief pulled a gun when confronted by the owner.
Meanwhile, in ny, Bragg is charging a man who was shot twice by a criminal with attempted murder for wrestling the gun away from the criminal and shooting him with his own gun, and charged with “criminal possession of a gun”
It’s a defense of prosecution in Texas. You can kill someone to prevent them from stealing
John Law says if you have a car stolen, let the cops find it. My brother had a really nice van, that was all decked out stolen a number of years back. The cops told him if they find the van, they could only charge the maggot who stole it with “joy-riding”. Well, they found the van. Totally stripped. They told him where he could go to pick it up. Pay the towing and storage fees and then patted themselves on the back on the wonderful job they did getting it back. His van was just a victim of “joy-riding” in Phoenix. No harm done.
Don't care. If you steal property, you deserve death.
Cattle rustlers and horse thieves were once hung on the spot.
Steal property, you deserve death.
I love to read mushy feel good stories like this one.
Tell that to a Soros DA and see what happens.
I always carry a drop-gun for such situations.
Grand theft auto is basically the same as stealing a horse in the old days, and worthy of the same kind of punishment.
I’ve got a couple of tags I should use for something.
OTOH... "I didn't see nothin'."
Horse thieves used to get hung.
AirTag was designed to help people locate their personal belongings, not to track people or another person’s property, and we condemn in the strongest possible terms any malicious use of our products. That is Apple’s response. They do not even know the circumstances of the shooting and they are condemning the person. If no charges are filed, he should sue Apple for defamation.
Wonder what would have qualified for grand theft auto in AZ back then, and how the cops came to that conclusion before apprehending (if at all) any suspect?
Know someone whose stolen car was found and returned over 4 weeks later. It is better for the owner to hope his car is never found.
