Based on the way he spells his first name (a misspelled Spanish name) and his middle name I am betting that he is Amish.

Odd last name given his first two. We can prolly rule him out as an illegal. Nonetheless, he’s still a killer.

Damned! he looks just like Obama’s son would if he had one.

Or does he have Al Sharpton’s hair? Daddy!

Guess he’s another good boy working his way thru college like Michael Browne.

I copied the spelling of the name from the Orange County Register. Other sources (LA Times, NY Daily News) have the standard spelling for the name.

He will be charged with murder, in my opinion.
