Man arrested in slaying of 16-year-old cheerleader found dead in bathtub of Texas apartment - Lemmy.World

Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a 16-year-old cheerleader who was found dead by her mother in her bathtub earlier this week in Edna, Texas. The Edna Police Department located the suspect, identified as Rafael Romero, on Saturday in Schulenburg, Texas. The Texas Rangers, who investigate major violent crime as part of the state’s Department of Public Safety, arrested Romero for capital murder — which makes the suspect eligible for the death penalty if convicted — and took him to the Jackson County Jail.

OP, I know it’s not your fault (probably) but that title makes it seem like the killer was found dead. If you had reformatted like: “Man arrested in connection with slain cheerleader foud dead in her mother’s bathtub” it could have been made a little more clear. It isn’t actually important to the story that the cheerleader was found in the bathtub and the title would have been much easier to understand without that bit of trivial information.

Fucking weird that the murderer ended up dead in the mom’s bathtub. I wonder if mom killed him?

I know you’re joking but the inclusion of the genderd pronoun does make it more clear about who was found in the tub.
