A father of two, driving home in his Chevrolet Silverado, never saw it coming. On May 1, a 27-year-old Colombian man named Deiby Jhonatan Janamejoy Jansasoy crossed the center line in a Ford Escape and slammed head-on into his truck.
Michael Sharpe, 47, was trapped inside the wreckage. Fire crews worked frantically to extract him, but the damage was catastrophic. He was rushed to a hospital—where he later died, leaving behind young children who will never see their father again.
Janamejoy Jansasoy had no business being behind the wheel. He was driving without a valid license and was under the influence when he caused the crash. Now he faces charges of vehicular homicide and DUI.
But the story doesn't end there. This man was an illegal alien who entered the United States in 2023—and was released into the country without vetting. After the crash, he tried to flee the hospital before being discharged, likely because he knew Immigration and Customs Enforcement wanted him for deportation.
His escape attempt failed. Deputies arrested him on the spot and threw him in the Effingham County Jail. With a history of illegal entry and a deadly choice that destroyed a family, Janamejoy Jansasoy could soon face even more charges—but nothing will bring Michael Sharpe back.
