Hombre de Texas condenado a cadena perpetua por doble asesinato familiar

Un jurado del condado de Tarrant ha condenado a Reid Rothenberg, de 37 años, por asesinato capital en los homicidios de 2022 de Matthew Stuart y George Nitsche, sentenciándolo a cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional. El ataque tuvo como objetivo a miembros de la familia en una vivienda en Arlington, Texas, dejando a la madre de Stuart como única superviviente. Las autoridades describieron el incidente como un homicidio brutal con un motivo poco claro.

La noche del 10 de abril de 2022, Reid Rothenberg, entonces de 37 años, derribó la puerta principal de una vivienda en Ivy Hill Drive, en Arlington, Texas. Dentro, George Nitsche, de 84 años, estaba reclinado en un sofá en la parte trasera de la casa cuando Rothenberg abrió fuego, alcanzándolo y matándolo al instante.  nn«No lo vio venir», dijo al jurado el fiscal adjunto del condado de Tarrant Matt Rivers durante el juicio. «Ese es su lugar de descanso final».  nnRothenberg persiguió entonces a Matthew Stuart, de 41 años, y a la madre de Stuart, de 67 años —exesposa de Nitsche— hasta el jardín delantero, disparando repetidamente. Agentes del Departamento de Policía de Arlington llegaron poco después de la medianoche del 11 de abril de 2022 y descubrieron a las tres víctimas. Nitsche fue declarado muerto en el lugar, Stuart falleció en un hospital cercano y la madre sobrevivió a sus heridas.  nnLas víctimas eran todos familiares, según declaraciones policiales de la época. Los investigadores arrestaron a Rothenberg unos dos meses después, en junio de 2022, tras vincularlo al crimen mediante la revisión de pruebas. Los detectives señalaron que conocía al menos a una de las víctimas, aunque el motivo sigue sin aclararse.  nnEl fiscal adjunto del condado de Tarrant Tad Schmidt enfatizó la gravedad durante las actuaciones, afirmando: «Esto no es solo un asesinato; es un homicidio brutal por parte de alguien que vino a matar esa noche».  nnEl veredicto de culpabilidad del jurado por cargos de asesinato capital conllevó una sentencia automática de cadena perpetua sin libertad condicional, según anunció la Oficina del Fiscal de Distrito del condado de Tarrant.
