The gang ties do not appear to have motivated the alleged murder, Sheriff Treviño said.

Are baptisms normal occasions in which to become stinking drunk?

Only if it's an Irish baptism.

Seriously though the article said he appeared to be drunk. Massive loss of blood can certainly be mistaken, at least initially, for drunkenness.

[Tax-chick]

Mexicans hold huge parties, often with considerable alcohol, for events such as Baptisms, presentations, and little children’s birthday parties. Generally the ostensible occasions of the fiesta (the little kids) are in bed before the event gets too raucous.

Am I reading this wrong or did this 34 year old man have a 20 year old daughter?

[irishjuggler]

Am I reading this correctly? Dad is 34 and daughter is 20? Yikes.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

He was 34 and his daughter was 20?

[SwinneySwitch]

Stepfather, adopted daughter?

[RikaStrom]

He’s 34 and has a 20 yo daughter?

Hmm... sure gang ties weren’t involved. A man held him down so another man could stab him 11 times.

Valle ping!

If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

[Robwin]

Martinez and Torres illegal immigrants...

Chalk up another one.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Things are deteriorating when gang members stab each other at Baptisms...what happened to the good old days...Don Corleone would never have allowed this to happen at a Mafia Baptism party!

Give them a choice: The chair or Mexico. If they choose Mexico and are subsequently found to have returned to this country, they don’t get a second chance. They go to the chair.

a Valluco gang baptism tradition...

[meadsjn]

Berrones is a documented Valluco gang member, the sheriff said. Martinez and Torres illegal immigrants and Texas Syndicate gang members,

Win-win for law-abiding citizens: one bad guy dead, two bad guys heading for the slammer.

Give them a choice, the chair or Mexico. If they choose Mexico then shoot them before they cross the border. Don't give them a second chance to attack us.

These criminals have proven that they have no right to live. (BTW, I include ALL illegal invaders in "these criminals". If we killed a few thousand of them the rest would scurry back south like the cockroaches they have become)

where a doctor said LeeRoy Berrones, 34, arrived at the hospital and seemed to be “highly intoxicated and unresponsive to questions,” Sheriff Lupe Treviño wrote in a statement.

This is outrageous. He has 11 stab wounds, one to the heart, and they claim he ‘seemed’ intoxicated!!! They opened his shirt and found 9 wounds, what, they couldn’t tell he had wounds from all the blood???????? Sumthin’s not right here...

[freekitty]

That is an eye opener.

[4woodenboats]

You'd think they'd at least notice the puddle. Also, the guys who took him to the hospital immediately left?

Must have been in a hurry to pick up more tequila for the party before things got out of hand.

[Eaker]

In the Rio Grande Vally? Yep.
