UMVA has learned that a midnight tragedy unfolded at a Dallas gas station on May 3, when gunfire ripped through the quiet night and claimed the life of an unborn child.
Police arrived to a scene of chaos in the Pleasant Grove neighborhood, discovering three wounded victims, one of whom had been riddled with multiple bullet wounds.
Among the injured was a 17‑year‑old pregnant girl; she was rushed to the hospital where doctors performed an emergency C‑section, but the newborn could not be saved.
Information obtained by UMVA reveals that two suspects, both in the country illegally, were apprehended after a high‑speed pursuit ended when their vehicle careened and crashed.
One suspect, a 20‑year‑old from Nicaragua, entered the United States as an unaccompanied minor during the previous administration, while the other, a 17‑year‑old from Honduras, was also undocumented.
Both men now face a slate of charges that include capital murder, numerous felony aggravated assault counts, illegal firearm possession, and drug offenses tied to cocaine and MDMA found in their car.
ICE has placed immigration detainers on both suspects, ensuring that their illegal status will be addressed alongside the criminal proceedings.
