Autopsy: Burglary Suspects Shot In Back
Dec. 8, 2007



HOUSTON - An autopsy showed two burglary suspects were shot in the back allegedly by a Pasadena neighbor who witnessed their crime, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday. The suspects were also in this country illegally, according to authorities. Pasadena police said suspects Diego Ortiz and Hernando Torres should not have been in the United States. Police said they made the discovery while investigating the fatal shootings of the two men from Colombia using multiple names. Pasadena police spokesman Capt. Bud Corbett said, "We understand that one of the suspects originally identified as DeJesus, later identified as Hermano Torres, was incidentally deported in 1999 back to Colombia."

Police said Torres was arrested in 1994 and charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to deliver. He got a 25-year sentence, started serving time in prison, but was paroled and deported back to Colombia in 1999.

Corbett said, "Their alien status doesn't really change anything about what we do."

The autopsies showed the suspects were shot in the back. Police first thought the chest and side wounds were the bullets' entrances. Instead, police said, they were the exit wounds.

Pasadena resident Joe Horn said he shot and killed the two men after he saw them breaking into his neighbor's home.

The 911 call taker repeatedly told Horn not to shoot. Some in Pasadena say no one would have been shot had they not broken the law.

Manuel Palomarez said, "They've broken the law twice over -- once being illegal here and twice breaking and entering. It doesn't matter."

New Black Panther leader Quanell X has protested in front of Horn's home. He wants Horn to face murder charges.

Quanell X said, "We understand clearly that they were in the country illegally. But that's for the immigration and ICE officials to handle. Mr. Horn, what he did was murder. He shot both men in the back."

Horn's attorney did not wish to comment for this story.

Not too into the idea of shooting people in the back, but they were illegal, breaking-and-entering AND one of them had a coke charge in the past.

Sounds like the world was better off, no matter where they were shot.

I'd give the man a Marksmanship award. As for "Quanel X" he should be arrested and charged under the "Stupid Names Act of 2007"

Shoot Quanel X only if he steps on his property....

Good, no, excellent solution!

So why does a Black Panther care if two Colombian illegals got shot in the back? And why do they insist on using X as a last name?

It's a childlike ploy that makes boring twats think that their name sounds mysterious and unknown. Y'know like "The X factor".

Look at me, look at me!!,.... I'm very deep and mysterious unlike you ordinary people, therefore I am to be taken very seriously... Snort,... giggle. (Fer Christ's sakes pick me up, Spike says, as tears of mirth stream down his face).

Huh, I thought it had something to do with Malcolm X.

If it was the other way round and the 2 illegals had shot the elderly guy, Mr X would be right there protesting on their behalf.

Yeah,... he was another one of them.

But of course! I would have expected no less of this fine specimen of a man.... Pbbtt!!

I don't see why we should take this leader of a racist organization seriously.
By the way, they were Latino. Just because they might have dark skin don't exactly make them "black" y'know?
They make their last names "X" as a symbol of striking off their "slave name." Of course they could try to trace their lineage and adopt their old name or a name that is more representative of those of their ancestors if they cared enough.
Someone please shoot this racist.
