Texas DPS troopers and other law enforcement officers arrested a Louisiana man wanted for murder near the Texas border with Mexico.
Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and other law enforcement officers arrested a Louisiana man wanted for murder and attempted murder near the Texas border with Mexico. The arrest followed a wreckless high-speed pursuit as the man and a partner allegedly attempted to smuggle migrants into the U.S. interior.
A gray Toyota sedan is seized by police following an alleged human smuggling pursuit in Kinney County, Texas. The driver eventually crashed through a fence alongside a roadway causing the vehicle to stall. Two men jumped out of the sedan but were quickly and safely apprehended by police.After taking the men into custody, a search of the vehicle led to the discovery of six migrants who were later determined to be illegally present in the United States by Border Patrol agents. Two of the migrants were locked inside the trunk during the dangerous pursuit that included off-road driving.
DPS officials identified the driver as 26-year-old Donald Ray Graves — a Louisiana man. The passenger is identified as 25-year-old Najoua Jabarie Harris — also from Louisiana. An investigation revealed Graves is a confirmed member of the Bloods gang and has multiple arrest warrants for two murder charges and two outstanding attempted murder charges from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Olivarez said in the written statement.
