Groom Beaten to Death at His Own Wedding Reception in California

It was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, but shortly after a bride and groom said their vows, alleged wedding crashers showed up to the reception and later killed the groom with baseball bats, according to authorities. Joe Melgoza and his new bride were dancing the night away at their backyard reception in Chino, California, when the unwanted guests tried to crash the party. Melgoza’s family says he told them to leave, but they came back carrying baseball bats.
