New Details Emerge in Horrific Murder of Laken Riley

Homicide detectives in Athens, Georgia, have made progress in the case of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old nursing student who was tragically murdered while out for a run on the University of Georgia campus. Jose Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, has been officially charged with Riley’s murder by a grand jury. The indictment outlines 10 counts against Ibarra, including malice murder, kidnapping, aggravated assault, and tampering with evidence. The document states that Ibarra caused blunt-force trauma to Riley’s head, asphyxiated her, and disfigured her head with a rock.


The incident sent shockwaves through the university and the community, with more than 41,000 students attending UGA. Riley was a senior nursing student before transferring to Augusta University’s College of Nursing. Her tragic death has become a focal point for conservatives pushing for immigration reform.


Authorities were able to identify Ibarra as a suspect after reviewing surveillance footage from a nearby apartment complex. They discovered that he shared an apartment with his brother Diego, who is also an undocumented immigrant. Diego handed police a forged green card during the investigation, leading to further scrutiny of his background. Federal authorities found ties between Diego and the Venezuela-based gang Tren de Aragua, which has been attempting to establish a presence in the United States.


Ibarra was detained in El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 but was ultimately released due to overcrowding in detention centers. Authorities have also discovered that he had been arrested previously in New York City. During their investigation, police found that Ibarra had attempted to conceal a jacket and gloves that were potential evidence in the murder case.

This guy should have been deported earlier and this girl would still be alive. Thanks Biden!
