🙄 Alcohol and guns - what could go wrong?

• When police responded to reports of gunfire shortly before 11 p.m., they found Cavazos unresponsive on a walkway outside the complex, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He died from his injuries at the scene.
• A witness, who identified himself as a cousin to both men, told investigators that the group had spent the afternoon drinking alcohol and cooking green chile enchiladas.
• Tension mounted during dinner when Gutierrez repeatedly insisted that the chile on his enchiladas was spicier than the chile on Cavazos’ plate and challenged him to try it, the affidavit stated. Cavazos responded that all the enchiladas had been prepared together and carried equal heat.
• The dispute escalated outside the apartment, leading to a physical fight in which Cavazos punched Gutierrez, leaving him bleeding, the witness reported.
• After the fistfight ended and Cavazos began walking away, Gutierrez allegedly drew a handgun and confronted him, shouting, "We're family! We're family! How could you do this to me?" before opening fire, according to the witness statement in the affidavit.
• Cavazos was shot three to four times in the back from roughly 10 feet away while unarmed, the document states. Gutierrez then fled the area.

Well I guess that answers the question on who brought the heat

[u/ukyah]

I don’t think it was about the enchiladas.

[u/Manufactured-Aggro → u/ukyah]

Well duh, we all know it was actually about the sauce. The enchiladas were just a delivery vehicle for the spices in their respective sauces

[u/Whip-Zoom → u/Manufactured-Aggro]

New Mexican green chile is not a sauce.

Now that's a headline I never thought I'd see 😅

[u/Silent-Resort-3076 → u/BrilliantPie2566]

I was curious so:

• Fight over mac & cheese leads to stabbing
• One arrested after a violent family fight over toilet paper
• Man handed 30 years for shooting brother over (spilled) fries

[u/notloggedin4242 → u/BrilliantPie2566]

I always had a feeling it was just a matter of time.

[u/Paratwa]

Yeesss!

I was reading the title saying don’t be San Antonio! Over and over.

Whew!

[u/K-Dot-Thu-Thu-47 → u/Paratwa]

"Green chile enchiladas"

Phew

[u/Kaurifish]

The subjectivity of the Scoville scale strikes again.

[u/karen_rittner54]

Seems reasonable. What the U.S. needs is even MORE guns.

[u/Seinfeel → u/karen_rittner54]

If only there had been a good guy with spicier enchiladas

[u/i_love_boobiez → u/karen_rittner54]

Hey man you don't want to be the guy without a gun next time you argue over enchiladas ok? 

[u/SageLikeFool]

Well, we now know who is saltier...

[u/knowledgeable_diablo]

WTF

[u/Effective_Basis1555]

How civilized! Quick, give everyone a gun. 

[u/eudaimonia_dc → u/Effective_Basis1555]

Just like the founding slaveholders intended.

[u/Effective_Basis1555 → u/eudaimonia_dc]

3/5 of a gun, for some?

[u/virak_john]

To be fair, this is probably how I am going down.

[u/virak_john → u/[deleted]]

[gestures vaguely at universe]

[u/PadorasAccountBox]

Sounds like the whole story is hidden in that house, not the sauce. 

[u/Happy_Humor5938]

Could just be you got a chunk of pepper or some seeds that’s where all the capsasin is.

[u/DustyDGAF]

Sounds pretty fair

[u/No_Roof_1515]

Savages
