MONTEREY PARK, Calif. (KABC) -- Authorities released a 911 call, hoping the public will aid them in finding a man who allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death with a sword. The tape is an emotional plea for help from a little girl, desperate to save her mother. The 9-year-old made the 911 call early Saturday morning at the couple's Quartz Hill home. Officials said the call was placed just after she and her three young brothers watched their father murder their mother with a 3-foot-long sword. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department is asking for the public's help in tracking down 28-year-old Jesus Canales.

Was he a boyfriend or husband? Was he an illegal alien?

Better questions:

1. How many experience points did he get?
2. Did this change his alignment from chaotic neutral to chaotic evil? Or was he always lawful evil?

“L.A. County Sheriff’s Department is asking for the public’s help in tracking down 28-year-old Jesus Canales.”

Mexico might be a good first place to look.

IIRC, both your questions depend on what character class he is.

Oh wow. Thank you for that. ROFL

I think we can rule out cleric, magic user and ranger.

Thanks.

Now roll 1D20. {/evildmgrin}

Yet more evidence of the fact that a disproportionate number of domestic violence cases occur in households where the couple is not married.

Prayers for the poor daughter to have to witness such brutality against her own mother. How does anyone get over something so horrible?

T.R.O.P. ???

Heartbreaking to think of that little girl...

From Wikipedia: The racial makeup of [Quartz Hill] was 81.47% White, 4.99% African American, 1.13% Native American, 1.84% Asian, 0.24% Pacific Islander, 6.12% from other races, and 4.21% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 15.28% of the population.

Quick, California Dhimmicrats! Pass lots & lots of Sword-control Laws!

Probably illegal alien whom Mexico will protect.

BTW, not to divert topics, but I read here a thread on Robert Williams who endlessly tortured a woman. Now I cannot find it. IIRC, puffer posted it.

“Enormous.”

I’m pretty sure that Rangers were allowed at least some types of swords, at least in 1st and 2nd ed. (IOW the *real* rules, though I don’t remember if Rangers can have evil alignments). And, he’d be eligible for an XP bonus (assuming he held an evil alignment) for doing the deed in front of the child. However, he’d also be facing a short and very exciting life at the hands of nearly every good-aligned character that I, as DM, could think of to throw at him (Bahamut, for starters)

“How does anyone get over something so horrible?”

Sadly, they don’t.

[Spktyr]

Yes, but as he was living in a city and there was no indication of a love of the outdoors or a profession that involved the outdoors, I don’t think he’d qualify as a ranger.
