Ty Vaughn, 31, allegedly shot and killed his fiancé hours after searching "is it illegal to kill an illegal immigrant."

He is accused of fatally shooting his fiancé, then staging the scene to make it appear like the victim died by suicide.

A Texas man is accused of murdering his fiancé and staging the scene to look like a suicide. Ty Vaughn, 31, was arrested and charged with murder on Friday, March 7, in connection with the January shooting death of 27-year-old Luis Banos, according to a press release from the Baytown Police Department.

During an interview, the suspect repeatedly mentioned Norberto's status as an undocumented migrant without provocation.

A Texas man charged with murder in the death of his fiancé searched online what the legal consequences were of killing an "illegal immigrant" by a "legal citizen," according a court document.

Police in Baytown, Texas, say the man had called 911 in January to report the death of his fiancé but provided “inconsistent testimony” about what happened.
