Here's my take on the story : Miguel was born in Mexico, fathered by a dead-beat dad. His mother was very loving, but ashamed of her lack of wealth. Miguel, being the chivalrous lad that he was, decided to commit armed robbery to provide his mother with some finer amenities.The police came to arrest him, and he killed one of them.

Here, the time frame becomes confusing : Either before or after the crime, he had managed to cross the border and impregnate a beautiful young lass out of wedlock. He visited often, avoiding the authorities. Sadly, on the day his child was born, he met his demise. So, in summary, Miguel was an irresponsible thug.
