State Rep.'s worker suspected in fatal beating

Associated Press - September 1, 2008 7:15 PM ET

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - Authorities say a ranch worker hired by a Texas lawmaker is a suspected illegal immigrant now wanted in the fatal beating of a young Hispanic man.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino says 24-year-old Froylen Casares is suspected of using a bat to beat another man to death yesterday. Casares remained at large Monday afternoon.

Trevino told The Monitor in McAllen that it was a "very bloody, very gruesome crime scene."

Authorities declined to name the dead man.

Casares was employed at a ranch owned by state Representative Kino Flores, who said he hired the man without checking his immigration status. Flores says the man looked "preppy" and that he did not suspect him of being here illegally.

The sheriff says Casares' immigration status and whether Flores broke the law by hiring him would have to be investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Texas Representative Ismael "Kino" Flores a Democrat, really has blood on his hands. He is accountable for the illegal alien living in the area that he killed the young man.

Guilt by hiring a murdering illegal alien.

Just think, he let this killing alien work on his ranch around his family.

Flores says the man looked "preppy" and that he did not suspect him of being here illegally.

Gee. Hint to all illegals, just look preppy and you will undoubtedly get the job. Mr. Flores, you are an absolute illegal-hugging idiot.

SO HE LOOKED PREPPY. WHAT LOOK IS THAT? THIS MAN KNEW WHO AND WHAT HE WAS HIRING. IF HE THINKS HE GOING TO GET PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THIS LIE, THEN I'VE GOT A BRIDGE TO SELL HIM AND WHO EVER IS SO STUPID AS TO BELIEVE HIM IN BROOKLYN.

NEAR MISSION - Police say a suspected illegal immigrant working for a Democratic state representative brutally beat another man to death with a bat Monday morning.

Froylen Casares, 24, was working at a ranch owned by state Rep. Kino Flores near the intersection of North Tropser and Yukon Roads when he killed a young Hispanic male whose name authorities have not released, said Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño.

"It was a very bloody, very bloody, very gruesome crime scene," Treviño said.

Authorities continue to search for Casares, of Honduras, who fled the scene before they arrived at about 5:30 a.m. Flores, who has owned the ranch for eight years and uses it to ride his horses, said he hired the man without checking his background because he didn't appear to be an illegal immigrant.

"He was preppy. He looked the part. No indication. He fit in extremely well, he had family members here," the Democrat from Palmview said. "It just looks bad in general ... of course it's going to grab more traction. I certainly don't want to go around challeng-ing people's status."

Flores, a six-term representative who is running unopposed for reelection this fall, was out of town for the holiday and was reached by phone Monday afternoon. He said he did not know the victim.

Treviño said the suspect's immigration status and whether Flores broke the law was a federal issue that would have to be investi-gated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Flores purchased the five-acre tract in 1986, expanding it in April this year with an additional six acres. The property was appraised at $143,648, according to county records.

Worker's status wasn't checked

BROWNSVILLE — A slaying on state Rep. Kino Flores' horse ranch has some wondering if the prominent Rio Grande Valley politician is in trouble for hiring an unauthorized immigrant.

Froylen Casares of Honduras is wanted on capital murder charges for allegedly beating another ranch hand to death with a baseball bat Monday morning.

Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Treviño said Casares is believed to have fled to Mexico. The victim was not immediately identified.

Flores, D-Palmview, told local media Monday that he didn't know that the 24-year-old suspect was unauthorized because he hadn't checked the seemingly “preppyâ€

i called the Misison office and the guy i talked with actually defended his boss saying he should NOT get charged with any crimes because he hired an illegal alien. he says people are calling and judging the Rep without knowing the facts as to what led to the killing and all the circumstances
