Hugging can be dangerous! Man killed for hugging someone's ex
Jealousy is a real thing and the aftermath of a jealous person can be deadly.
It's a given that not all couples end on good terms. Some break-ups can be really difficult.
But there is always one person who is able to move on more easily than the other.
In this case, it was a woman who had moved on from her ex-boyfriend and found a new lover. It was all too much for the ex-boyfriend, who saw her with her new lover at a house party in March 2020.
Things became too much for the ex, Jacob Issac Arroyo, who then acted out of anger and jealousy.
"Witnesses at the function said they saw the woman’s new lover go over to say hello to her mother and hug her. Arroyo became upset and shot at the victim." (Valley Central)
The shooting was fatal and Arroyo admitted to shooting the victim because he saw him hug his ex-girlfriend.

"On May 8, he signed a plea agreement and was sentenced to 45 years in state jail on one count of murder and 20 years in jail for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Arroyo’s sentence will run concurrently. He was given a jail credit of 1147 days." (Valley Central)
It goes to show you never really know what can trigger someone. And there's no coming back from that. Sadly, a man lost his life over it all.
