FRISCO, Texas -- A Frisco day laborer is behind bars, charged in the murder of a man who wanted to paint him nude.

Police said the alleged victim, Enrique Rodriguez, 62, solicited the suspect, Mario Alegria, 17, to pose nude for him while he painted or sketched the worker at his far North Dallas apartment.

The alleged crime scene was inside the Rodriguez's apartment, where police said he used to take young males to model nude and paid them an hourly rate.

The title of this movie: North Dallas Naughty.

Yeah I bet he was "painting" the young males he brought to his apartment.

Hmmm, and they found the victims body naked in the closet...

[HairOfTheDog]

He could have just said 'no'.

Talk about a serious mis-communication:

"You want me to paint your house senor?"

"No, I want to paint YOU in my house.......big boy."

This could have happened in the other Frisco (the City by the Bay) just as easily, given the demographics there.

Did Jack Nicholson live in the apartment across the hall?

Wow! I bet you could use this as part of the basis for a hit movie!

I guess Carlos Mencia was wrong.

we need to cover more than just the borders.

The question is what was he painting them with...

Day laborer?

Wow... just last month the only people being killed in Frisco were rich, white women. Now, Frisco seems so.... urban.

Yeah I bet he was "painting" the young males he brought to his apartment.

To be fair, that may have been all it was. I painted both male and female nudes in art class back in college, and there was nothing erotic about it. The human form, with all of its varying lines and curves, is fairly difficult to paint realistically and accurately. Many painters spend years mastering the art of drawing the human form.

There's even a very valid reason why he might have chosen day laborers...they work cheap, and they tend to be in physically good shape (hard work eliminates the flab that many Americans have, and accentuates the lines of the muscles).

He might have been a gay guy just looking for a roll in the hay, but I'm not willing to hang that on him based only on this article.

Gay-bashing, how intolerant.

On the bright side, we now can expect more pro border enforcement support from the local homosexual community.

Alleged victim?

Now posing naked is another job that Americans just won't do.
