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.
Whether or not that headline is an egregious error, in and of itself, is arguable. I would say that making it less sensational is preferable to making it an exact copy.
