"Police say they found Norberto's body lying on a bed with a rifle propped up against one of his arms and a torn picture of him and the suspect nearby.

He'd been shot with the rifle in one of his eyes.

Police say that during interviews, Vaughn repeatedly mentioned Norberto's immigration status unprompted.

When they searched his phone, they found he had Googled, "Can I kill an illegal human?"

Eyewitness News spoke to Vaughn on the phone on Feb. 4 before he'd been named a suspect in Norberto's death.

When asked if he'd spoken to Norberto the day of the murder, he replied, "I don't know. The police know all the details.""

This whole entire section of the article reads like a really bad made for TV movie.

"I mean, it is what it is."

Seriously. This guy did a google search hoping to learn it's okay to kill someone as long as they're in the country illegally?

This is the problem when you see yourself as superior. No human who simply thinks of another human as a human being would look this up or even try to justify it.

See when you dehumanize other people and then start pardoning people that commit crimes against them, you unleash homicidal morons on the general population.

Average MAGA marrying foreign women because of power dynamics

Hopefully this red flag becomes more obvious to women

Edit: and men. You don’t get that kind of bigoted search out of thin air.
