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.

      I don’t see how either of my suggestions alters the meaning of the title or misrepresents the article. Changing the title, in this case, should be encouraged.

      I feel the only reason that the information about the bathtub was included was to get people subconsciously excited about naked bodies. Aka Click bait.

        I don’t disagree, but this community wants to avoid any editorializing with its submissions. So we should blame the author of the article, not OP.

          I think you may be confused about what editorializing is. This isn’t changing tone or meaning, just clarifying.

            Just so people know the correct definition of editorialize verb - to make comments or express opinions rather than just report the news.
