PASADENA, Tex. — Even before the police called the night of Nov. 14, Stephanie Storey said, she knew that her fiancé of two days, Miguel Antonio DeJesus, was dead.
She knew it, Ms. Storey said, because she had not been able to reach him all day, and because she was watching the news at 9 o’clock when she saw his body.
It was lying on a front lawn decorated for Christmas in a middle-class subdivision in this Houston suburb ringed by refineries, not far from the body of his sometime construction partner and childhood friend from Cali, Colombia, Diego Ortiz.
Both men, illegal immigrants, one with a prison record, had been riddled with shotgun pellets fired by a retired computer manager, Joe Horn, who called 911 that Wednesday about 2 p.m. to say he was watching them break into the house next door. “I’m not going to let them get away with it,” he told the emergency operator. “I’m going to shoot.”
YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS CASE AGAIN...

Looks like he was a serial criminal, with little to no conscience! And his 'fiancee' is an idiot...it was tragic, BUT if they had NOT burglarized the house they would not have been shot!
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR CHOICES...and apparently Mr. Horn did yell for them to stop.
And it STARTED with their ILLEGAL status, what part of illegal don't people understand?
I'll bet he was still dealing and needed the money to pay someone off!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

Merry Widow, I have heard the audio of this 911 phone conversation. I doubt that Joe Horn, even though you and I agree with his decision, is going to win this case. I will follow this trial closely when it comes up.
