An illegal alien drunk driver mowed down a 16-year-old girl who rejected his sexual advances on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Fox News reporter Bill Melugin revealed the drunk driver, identified as Edwin Cruz-Gomez is an illegal alien from Honduras.
A very drunk Cruz-Gomez was reportedly hanging out near Prima Donna in New York City at 4 am on Saturday when he made sexual advances at Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez as she walked by with her mother and friends. After an argument, Cruz-Gomez got into his Chevy Suburban, drove up on the sidewalk and pinned Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez against a pillar, according to The New York Post.
Cruz-Gomez was driving on a suspended license when he killed 16-year-old Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez.
Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez’s mother survived.
The New York Post reported on the drunk driving and murder:
The crazed drunk driver accused of mowing down a 16-year-old on a Queens sidewalk after she rejected his lewd advances was charged with murder Saturday night — and it’s not the first time he was nabbed driving under the influence.
Driving with a suspended license, Edwin Cruz-Gomez, 38, allegedly plowed a 2009 Chevy Suburban into teen Jhoanny Gomez-Alvarez following a heated fight with the girl, her boyfriend, her mother and the mother’s friend Saturday morning outside an Elmhurst bar.
Earlier in the year, he had been charged with driving while intoxicated on the Southern State Parkway in Long Island, according to court papers obtained by The Post.
His license was suspended following the Jan. 26 incident.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin: Per ICE sources, the drunk driver arrested by NYPD for murder on Saturday after he fatally mowed down a 16-year-old girl who rejected his sexual advances is a previously deported Honduran illegal alien w/ multiple prior DUI arrests. I’m told he was also ignored by ICE after an October 2024 arrest for possession of a forged instrument because the Biden administration didn’t consider him an immigration enforcement priority.
