Man resumes date after leaving to shoot dead ‘scammer’ over $40, police say

Erick Aguirre arrested on count of murder after allegedly shooting Elliot Nix while on a date at Texas burger restaurant

What started as a date at a Texas burger joint earlier this month ended with one of the participants going to jail after allegedly murdering someone else over $40 and carrying on with the rest of the date as if nothing happened, according to authorities.

Erick Aguirre, 29, stepped away from a dinner date he had with a woman to grab a pistol from his car and shoot 46-year-old Elliot Nix dead after Aguirre learned from a restaurant employee that he had been scammed by a parking attendant, investigators have said.
