Illegal immigrant arrested in Colo. dragging death
gibson
By KIM NGUYEN, Associated Press Writer
A man was arrested in the gruesome dragging death of a woman after a
stained and tattered photograph of him was found at the crime scene,
police said Wednesday.
Jose Luis Rubi-Nava, 36, was arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of
murder and jailed without bail. Investigators said they were still
trying to identify the victim, who was dragged behind a vehicle with a
rope, leaving a trail of blood more than a mile long.
Authorities did not immediately respond to questions about how the
photograph ended up near the woman's body, which was discovered Monday
in a suburban neighborhood about 20 miles south of Denver.
The picture shows a couple who appear to be in their 30s, with the man
leaning his arm on the woman's shoulder. Investigators did not say
whether the woman in the picture was the victim.
The photo had been released to the public, and Sheriff Dave Weaver
said tips from citizens helped lead to the arrest. Weaver offered no
motive for the killing, and the sheriff's department did not respond
to repeated requests by phone and in writing for more information.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok said agents
believe Rubi-Nava is an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
At a court appearance Wednesday afternoon, Rubi-Nava listened through
a translator as District Judge Paul A. King formally told him the
charge he faces.
King sealed the arrest warrant affidavit, which outlines the
preliminary allegations against Rubi-Nava, at the request of public
defender Kathleen McGuire. King said he would consider McGuire's
request for a gag order.
Neighbors discovered the woman's body before dawn. Her face was
unrecognizable and an orange tow rope was around her neck, said Nancy
Foley, who lives nearby.
An autopsy indicated the woman died of asphyxiation and head injuries
from being dragged.
The trail of blood led from Interstate 25 to the woman's body, which
was found on a street lined with large ranch-style homes on spacious
lots. On Wednesday, highway crews were spreading fresh tar over the
roads to cover the traces of blood.

They can drag him in an identical fashion, for all I care.

That sounds like a hate crime to me.

I don't think so. Knowing hispanics (as Arnold does :-), I bet a was a
passion motivated crime.

Hispanics do have a lot of passion, for girls under 12 years old.

[Johnny said it was a hate crime, I said it was passion]
---------------
Friends told the Rocky Mountain News that the woman lived with
Rubi-Nava, even though he had a wife and children in Mexico. Cesar
Gustavo Flores, 20, a roommate, said the couple sometimes argued
violently.

Do I know hispanics or what?
There's a thin line between love and hate...

I don't think the passion was love, since she was dragged until her face
was erased.
I think he hated her. She was probably seeing a white guy!

And what do you expect me to do about my hispanic passion?
Have it removed?
What kind of answer do you expect from a posting like yours above?
Give me a hint!
Well, at least your writings and spelling are much better than last
time you began posting late at night...

If she was seeing a latino and a white guy, she must have discovered
that the best of both worlds are guys like me: white and hispanic.

Lot of white Hispanics out there. And black Hispanics. It's an
ethnicity, not a race.

Thanks, I've gotten some sleep.
The point I was making that you can't call it passion and use it as an
excuse.
Your post sounded very much like that.
A lot of people have heavy passion, but they manage to control it. You can't
use it as reason to do what that particular piece of shit did.
And to head you off, I don't care what his ethnic particulars are, he's and
animal and deserves the be put to death for this atrocity, there can be no
excuse for what he did.

Hell Ramon I didn't expect you reply at all, you seldom do. Unless it's
some crap like this.
Just so your clear, I was responding to the remark you made about it being
an Hispanic passion crime, as if that would be an excuse.
If that's your logic then hell, I have a bad temper sometimes so if I get
pissed and kill someone I shouldn't be arrested, it's just my nature.
I guess you have to make a series of excuses in regards to your side to help
deflect the fact that the people you support are breaking the law huh?
