Illegal immigrant killed 3 after recent release from custody in Missouri

Mexico native and illegal immigrant Luis Rodrigo Perez was charged with fatally shooting two men and wounding two others on November 1. He also fatally shot a woman two days later.

He was held at the Middlesex County Jail in New Jersey in December 2017 before committing the murders. However, he was released in February this year.

Luis Rodrigo Perez, 23, was initially held on domestic violence charges at the Middlesex County Jail in New Jersey in December last year. After being released in February, he committed an even more heinous crime.

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials revealed that they had placed a detainer on Perez while he was in custody. However, the request was not honored.

Price added:

“Yet again, an ICE detainer was ignored and a dangerous criminal alien was released to the streets and is now charged with killing three people.”

He shared that if ICE’s detainer request had been honored by the Middlesex County Jail, Perez would have been placed in deportation proceedings. It was quite likely that he would have been sent home to his country sooner.

Price continued:

"It is past time that localities realize the perils of dangerous sanctuary policies and resume their primary goal of protecting their residents.”

Middlesex County officials revealed in a statement why the detainer wasn't honored:

“This order would have authorized Middlesex County to turn over custody of Mr. Perez prior to, or upon completion of his sentence. Instead, ICE officials chose to do nothing, which places all responsibility of Mr. Perez’s actions squarely upon ICE.”

The county also shared that they had adopted a new policy last year. The policy said they could honor a detainer request from ICE if the inmate has convictions for first- or second-degree offenses or if they’re placed for deportation by a federal judge.

On November 1, four shooting victims were found by the Springfield Police at 906 East Locust in Springfield, Missouri. Aaron “Joshua” Hampton, 23, and Steven Marler, 38, were two of the victims.

They both died from their injuries. The other two at the same location suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were hospitalized with serious physical injuries.

They required surgery. Two days later, the Springfield Police were dispatched to 2146 N. Oakland, where Sabrina Starr, 21, was found murdered with multiple gunshot wounds.
