Silvestre Delgadillo, 28, remained on the run and authorities had "no idea" whether he fled to Mexico, Treviño said.
Delgadillo, who was convicted in 2005 on a felony drug charge, has been charged with unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, a third-degree felony.
But the actual homicide is complicated by Texas' castle law, which allows people to use lethal force to defend themselves and their property.
Delgadillo is accused of shooting Roberto Garcia, 17, late Friday night.
"He is there to protect his residence - protect the business - under the direction of the owner," Treviño said.

Can't wait to see how far out of control the IA's and their huggers spend this one.

I Hope you don't mind if I offer the following disclaimer:
This article does not imply that all illegal aliens are drug dealers or murderers. Most are not violent criminals, and are simply guilty of entering our country illegally, or overstaying visas. Their primary crimes are the illegal use of a U.S. citizen’s SSN and/or document fraud.

*Michael Jackson voice* "HEE-HEE" . . .be my guest. Is it ok if I copy your disclaimer to use at the end of my posts as well?
Delgadillo, who was deported after being released from prison earlier this year, could also be charged with a felony for illegally re-entering the country.
This is clearly not your "good character" illegal alien. As a convicted felon, he should not have even been in possession of a gun. Furthermore, he had already been deported.
Sadly, they will probably never apprehend him. He is probably already out of the country, and will simply bide his time, only to reenter the country illegally to continue his criminal lifestyle.
Given his prior criminal record, no 'reputable' company would have hired him in this capacity.

Good character or not under Texas law he has a right to protect himself and where he lives. In this case he happened to live in the store. Believe it or not, this applies to anyone legal or not. So technically he violated no law by shooting to defend himself and defend his place of residence. This is a Texas law. He can be convicted or re-entering the country illegally.

Just the very insanity of the phrase "illegal alien in good character" is an oxymoron to say the least. But then illegals and their huggers operate under an exclusively deranged system of picking and choosing the definition of morals, character and justice don't they?
Speaking of morals, character and the lack thereof:
Quote:
Ms. Lopez gave a convicted felon a firearm," Treviño said. "That's against the law. She lied to us from the onset of the investigation. That's against the law." Garcia's accomplices will also be charged with burglary, Treviño said.
In this case, this criminal idiot's citizenship should be revoked.

Good point. No excuses for her actions... But the grand jury will have to decide if she knew he was a felon before providing him the gun. You know how these things go. Money, good lawyer, she walks.

Lopez, the storeowner, will be charged with failure to report a felony because she was not candid with police about the shooting, Treviño said. A grand jury would also have to decide whether she could face any sort of homicide charges.

Also, under 18 USC 922, it is a federal offense for a convicted felon to be in possession of a firearm. It's a moot point anyway; he'll never be charged, because they'll never apprehend him.
Quote:
However, a number of cases involve weapons possession by a defendant who simultaneously maintains more than one disqualifying status under § 922 (g). For example, there have been cases in which the defendant is both a convicted felon and a fugitive from justice, or a convicted felon and an illegal alien. In these cases, federal prosecutors have raised questions concerning how to charge the defendant and whether such a defendant can be convicted and sentenced under two or more separate subdivisions of § 922(g) for a single instance of possessing a firearm.
