Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a 16-year-old cheerleader who was found dead by her mother in her bathtub earlier this week in Edna, Texas.

The Edna Police Department located the suspect, identified as Rafael Romero, on Saturday in Schulenburg, Texas.

The Texas Rangers, who investigate major violent crime as part of the state’s Department of Public Safety, arrested Romero for capital murder — which makes the suspect eligible for the death penalty if convicted — and took him to the Jackson County Jail.

    In the pursuit of truth and honesty, no, no title should be edited when posting articles. Unless there’s an egregious error.

    It’s also a community rule and just general good faithness for discussions.

      Whether or not that headline is an egregious error, in and of itself, is arguable. I would say that making it less sensational is preferable to making it an exact copy.

      The rule says it can be edited and it will not be deleted if the title represents the article properly.

        And who gets to decide it represents it properly? A mods opinion, you know what removes doubt and bias, just not changing it.
