What Is The Fateful Incident?
As per the reports of the Dallas police, the altercation between Bob and Cobos-Martinez started over a broken washing machine on Wednesday. According to reports by the PTI, tensions escalated when Nagamallaih asked another person to help translate his instructions rather than speaking directly to Martinez. This reportedly angered the suspect, who then left to fetch a machete.
The CCTV footage which captured the gruesome incident, showed Cobos-Martinez fetching a machete, chasing the victim and launching an array of blows even though his son and wife tried to intervene.
