An illegal alien living in Tennessee was convicted of vehicular homicide for a crash in August 2018 that left an American man dead.

Jore Majano-Rodas (in some reports referred to as Jose Majano-Rodas), 28, a native of El Salvador, was driving a 2004 Toyota Camry in Nashville when he hit a curb, crossed over a median, and slammed into another car, which was being driven by 54-year-old William David Newcomb.

Newcomb was rushed to the hospital and later died.

Nashville police officers said that Majano-Rodas smelled strongly of alcohol, reported WSMV. He told officers that he drank the night before and had shots of whiskey when he woke up at about 4 a.m. on the morning of the crash.

Majano-Rodas pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eight years in prison, reported WTVF. He will be deported after he finishes the sentence.

According to an obituary for Newcomb, the victim was survived by his wife, son, and daughters. He worked as a bookbinder at Bindtech.

Illegal Alien Arrested for Allegedly Killing Mother

An illegal alien was arrested after ambushing an Oklahoma mother on March 21 and shooting her to death, according to the local sheriff.

Witnesses riding in the same vehicle as Paige Gomer said that Ramon Hector Martine Ontiveros was waiting for them on Highway 37 in Canadian County.

The witnesses told Canadian County Sheriff deputies that Ontiveros opened fire on the vehicle and struck the back windshield with his AR-15, reported News 9.

Gomer was struck by a bullet to the chest and killed.

Witnessed told investigators that the shooting appeared to stem from a dispute between Ontiveros and German Zamarripa, who was driving the vehicle that Gomer was in. Ontiveros “was mad at German due to some insults German made about Ontiveros’s wife,” according to court documents.

Sheriff Chris West said that authorities found Ontiveros, a native of Mexico, was in the United States illegally.

“While we obtained an arrest warrant for a murder charge against Ontiveros, we are still actively involved in this investigation where an American citizen died at the hands of an illegal alien in Canadian County,” he said in a statement. The Oklahoma State Medical Examiner was performing their investigation to pinpoint the exact cause of death.

In addition to being held on a first-degree murder charge, Ontiveros has an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer. If he is released he will be deported.

According to the sheriff’s office, Ontiveros “made admissions he was responsible for firing a weapon, which resulted in Gomer’s fatal gunshot wound.”

A friend of Gomer, 28, told KFOR that she hopes Ontiveros goes to jail for life.

“I just hope he never gets out,” Sosha Christmas said. “I hope he never gets to see freedom again. I don’t know who he is, but I hope he gets what he deserves.”

She also remembered her friend, who left a daughter behind, calling Gomer selfless.

“She always had your back always,” said Christmas “She was just a phone call away.”

A family friend, meanwhile, launched a GoFundMe fundraiser for Gomer’s family, saying the funds would go toward funeral expenses and to help in the care of her daughter.
