Police search for man after child killed

12/25/2002

The Associated Press

HOUSTON — An 8-month-old baby was shot and killed Christmas morning during a fight between her parents. Police were searching for the child's father.

Houston police spokesman Martin DeLeon said 8-month-old Nayeli Navarro was shot as her mother, who was holding the baby, turned to protect herself from her common-law husband.

DeLeon said Eladio Camacho Navarro had threatened the woman with a .38-caliber revolver. The woman's name was not released.

Police said Navarro, 38, fled the home in northeast Houston. His sport utility vehicle was found abandoned in a supermarket parking lot more than three hours after the 6:20 a.m. shooting. Authorities believe Navarro was trying to escape to Mexico.

DeLeon said murder charges are pending.

Neighbors said the couple also had a 2-year-old son, who was in the house during the shooting, the Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition Wednesday.

Neighbor Dawn Hickman said she baby-sat the two children but knew little about the family.(ap.state.online.tx 0753 12/25/2002 19:03:09 )

"It's terrible that this happened on Christmas,"

Yeah, like it would be better if it happened on December 26?

Nuff said.

If my partner and I live together long enough, won't we have a common law marriage?

Contrary to popular belief, even if two people live together for a certain number of years, if they don't intend to be married and present themselves to others as a married couple, there is no common law marriage. More particularly, a common law marriage can occur only when:

* a heterosexual couple lives together in a state that recognizes common law marriages
* for a significant period of time (not defined in any state)
* holding themselves out as a married couple -- typically this means using the same last name, referring to the other as "my husband" or "my wife" and filing a joint tax return, and
* intending to be married.

Unless all four are true, there is no common law marriage. When a common law marriage exists, the couple must go through a formal divorce to end the relationship.


I wonder if they really were common law married. Not many states recognize Common Law.

He's only here to do the work Americans won't do.

The suspect is believed to be headed to Mexico

Surprise, surprise, surprise.

From a Texas divorce info site:

Texas is one of the very few states that recognizes a common law marriage, or more precisely, a marriage without formalities. In Texas to provide that you have a common law marriage you can either file a Declaration and Registration of Informal Marriage or prove in court that a man and woman 1) agreed to be married, 2) after that agreement lived together in Texas as husband and wife, and 3) represented to others that they were married. While this may seem simple, providing a common law marriage is quite complex and in is not something that a pro se party can easily pursue on their own. This is a situation where representation by counsel is necessary.

The story is pretty self explanitory, illegal kills common law wife and heads for Mexico where he will be free as a bird.

[Cap'n Crunch]

We had a stabbing the other day. Guy tried to stab his girlfriend. He swung the knife real hard. Missed his girlfriend and stabbed himself.

[marajade]

CA does...

[antaresequity]

Question: What is a common law spouse versus (I guess), an un-common law spouse....Why the particular refrence here

[marajade]

How can an illegal be common law married? Wouldn't that make him legal?

[antaresequity]

Oops...someone answered this already
