Arrest Made in CO Double Homicide: A suspect has been arrested in connection with the March 12 double homicide in Colorado Springs. Ellie Mulder at The Gazette reports that Gustavo Marquez,19, was arrested in the murders of Derek Benjamin Greer, 15, and Natalie Partida, 16, who were found
dead on the shoulder of Old Pueblo Road in a rural part of the
county. Derek was a freshman and Natalie was a sophomore at Coronado
High School. Marquez faces charges of two counts each of
first-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping and aggravated robbery and
one count of child abuse resulting in death. In late February, Marquez was arrested on suspicion of attempted
second-degree kidnapping, attempted second-degree assault, third-degree
assault and child abuse. Three days after that arrest he posted bond and was released.
Two Men Arrested for Shooting at Police: Two men have been arrested in connection with a recent shooting at a Selma police officer. George McDonald at Alabama News reports that Demarious "Sleepy" Pullom and Calvin Boyd are currently behind bars on charges that include the attempted murder of a police officer. The men reportedly fired at the officer with automatic weapons when the officer attempted to stop their vehicle. The bail for these charges has been set at $5,000,000 each.
LA Mayor Expands Protection of Illegals: Robert Jablon of the Associated Press reports that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a directive Tuesday which bars any city employee from cooperating with the enforcement of federal civil immigration laws. Additionally, the directive forbids city workers from giving ICE agents special access to any city facility, including jails, unless required by law. This directive responds to the Trump Administration's effort to deport illegal aliens who have committed felonies in the U.S. LA Police Chief Charlie Beck said that calls to police by Hispanics to report crimes have gone down because they are afraid of deportation. But the Wall Street Journal (subscription) reported a statement in response by ICE saying, '"Rather than transferring convicted criminal aliens to ICE custody as requested, agencies, including the Los Angeles Police Department, are routinely releasing these offenders back onto the street to potentially reoffend, and their victims are often other members of the immigrant community.'' Somehow, that statement did not make it into the AP story.
