An unnamed bystander in Texas did what Texans often do in January, and used his firearm to stop what appeared to be a violent robbery in progress. Now, police are saying that the "robbery" was in fact staged for the benefit of a fraudulent visa application, but the "robber" is still dead, and the fake "victims" are apparently nowhere to be found.
According to KRTK-TV, the incident occurred at a Houston gas station on January 27th of this year. The Houston Police department initially believed that the gunman, who has not been identified, opened fire on Rasshauud Scott when he saw Scott apparently attempting to rob a couple. Scott later died of his wounds.
Further investigation, however, indicated that Scott and a potential partner regularly ran a scam that was designed to help illegal immigrants commit immigration fraud. The scam is designed to help immigrants obtain a "U visa," which is given to individuals who are victims of crime and are permitted to stay in the country as potential witnesses while their crimes are being investigated. Under the scam, someone stages a robbery somewhere that there are security cameras, such as at a gas station, and the "victims" then get to stay legally in the country, often for years, as the case goes unresolved.
