MMA fighter defeats 4 home invaders, kills one.

Thanks for the article Dwi!


via New York Daily News.
A New Mexico mixed martial artist won the fight of his life — outside the ring.
Joseph Torrez, 27, repelled a home invasion, killing one man, injuring another so badly he left in an ambulance and persuading two others to run in fear, authorities said.
Torrez and the men clashed on New Year’s Day at his home outside of Las Cruces, reportedly part of an ongoing feud.
One of the attackers, 22-year-old Leonard Calvillo, called ahead to threaten Torrez, the Las Cruces Sun-News reported, citing court documents.
“I’ll kill you and your family ... I’ll go to your house,” Calvillo reportedly said.
Calvillo arrived shortly after with 20-year-old Nathan Avalos and brothers Sal and Raymond Garces and pounded on Torrez’s door, authorities said.
Torrez’s fiancee, son and the fiancee’s sister were all home at the time, authorities said.

Another story where it seems there is a whole lot more to it.  I wonder what the ongoing dispute was about?  I wonder if the victim has gang ties?  And if he does, does it change a thing.

This too vexes me.
