Authorities in southwest Houston say a man may have been killed early Monday morning over his choice of karaoke songs.

Investigators told KPRC that the incident happened around 2 a.m. at Ostioneria Mazatlan, a Mexican seafood restaurant.

The victim reportedly yelled that he was from Guerrero, Mexico after singing “Somos Mas Americanos,” which means “We Are More American.”

“One of the gentleman, as soon as he stepped off the stage, someone didn’t agree with the song or the music or something, and there was an altercation inside the restaurant,” Houston Police Department’s Sgt. J.J. Wilson explained.

But Texas is nothing!

Earlier this month in California, 70-year-old William Oller, Sr. was arrested for shooting his own son, 50-year-old William Jr., for singing a Kenny Chesney country tune.

In recent years, there has been so much violence related to the singing of Frank Sinatra songs at karaoke bars in the Philippines that the media began referring to the incidents as “My Way Killings.”

“I used to like ‘My Way,’ but after all the trouble, I stopped singing it,” one singer told The New York Times in 2010. “You can get killed.”

Dangerous times for free speech.

I gotta wonder if these folk were exceptionally horrid singers.

I'd kill him for his choice in ugly shirts.

I saw the pic and thought Law & Order SVU just lost another one of the cast.

Anyone who attempts "I Believe I Can Fly" better believe they are bulletproof if this keeps up.

Karaoke often makes me feel homicidal too.

Is it just me, or does he look a lot like the guy from Pawn Stars?

I wouldn't know, thank heavens.

Karaoke often makes me feel suicidal too.

I loved the part where the killer is described as "one of the gentlemen".
