A squatter allegedly shot and killed his roommate after he was asked to pay just $250 in rent — shouting “I’m going to kill them all,” as he marched towards the house, according to law enforcement officials.
Angel Gomez Montanez, 21, paid no rent at a home outside of Houston, Texas, for over three months when his roommate Christopher Rodriguez Lara, 18, asked the delinquent to pony-up the paltry sum, KTRK reported.
The two got into an argument and then Montanez left the shared home with his belongings — only to return on June 12, saying he had the $250 for rent.
Montanez insisted on handing the dough directly to the 18-year-old — and when Lara stepped outside, Montanez allegedly shot him on the spot and fled.
A 9-year-old witness armed with a rock chased Montanez away, but hid when the crazed alleged gunman started walking back towards the home, the Charlotte Observer reported.
“I’m going to kill all of them,” Montanez said, the 9-year-old told investigators, according to that report.
Montanez allegedly fired one more shot that investigators believe was aimed at Lara’s brother.
“The only thing we told him is we needed the money for rent,” Zulekya Ortiz, who said Montanez had been living in her family home for the three months span, told the outlet.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
There might be other factors at work like mental illness.
But what do we expect when we have been like a supine scared puppy? Laying on our back in fear as hordes of fake refugees demand entrance. So afraid to buck the PC labels of DEI, white privilege, restorative Justice and last but not least raaaaacism.
Some it seems think they can do anything here.
One squatter shoots another squatter and it’s news?! Wouldn’t “squatting” itself be a story? Likely illegal alien squatting?
Squatter charging rent to other squatters?
That is a new one.
“A 9-year-old witness armed with a rock chased Montanez away”. Kid has some grit. Deport the rest, let the kid stay, imho.
Dumb ass story about a squatter paying rent? WTF? Squatters should be killed on the spot period.
“””Angel is a lifetime member in The Rent Is Too Damn High Party.”””
Angel probably also was a loyal follower of the ‘YOU WILL OWN NOTHING’ visionaries.
Rent for squatters?
What is the world coming to?
We need to stop blaming evil on mental illness.
Nor is entitlement mentality a mental illness.
It’s not. It’s a willful choice they make.
Where are the New York and Charlotte newspapers supposed to get ‘local’ news stories if we send all of the illegals in Houston back?
I looked at both the New York story and the Charlotte story it’s copied from and neither says that Rodriguez Lara was a squatter, only that Gomez Montanez was.
Dear Lord, such disregard for life.
This piece, BTW, reads like it was written by a 9-year-old.
Where are all these ILLEGALS coming from? I know a lot cross
the border along the Rio Grande River between Texas and Mexico.
Are they coming from other entry points in other states. If so what
are some of the locations.
Keep in mind this land called the USA has been ‘a go to location’
every since Colombus sailed the ocean blue in 1492. Essential they
became the ones going to other parts of the world and bringing in
their people to do the grunt work. Today their desendants have become
a major factor in what happens in this land called North America/USA.

As always the human with the gun, assets and nerve
have basically rule the hominoid since time began.
Ymm, so how old do you think an AI could possibly be?
Not long ago the shooter and his flat mates would all reside in a mental institution instead of squatting in houses.
😉
Jail
Prayers to the victim and his family.
