The young nursing student was out for a jog. This is the first homicide that has been reported on the campus in 30 years. No media outage and little coverage. No George Floyd protests. No shock and calls for immediate action by the Democrat party of treason.
Post Millennial: A Venezuelan illegal immigrant has been arrested and charged for the murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student who was found dead in a wooded area of University of Georgia at Athens (UGA) campus on Thursday.
Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, was arrested and booked into Clarke County Jail for the accused murder of Laken Riley and charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, and other criminal violations including kidnapping, according to the Daily Mail.
ADVERTISEMENTIbarra was released into the interior of the US by Customs and Border Patrol because the border crisis had worsened to a point where they did not have enough space at a detention facility to hold him.
Riley, 22, was found dead in the wooded area of campus after a roommate reported her as missing. UGA Police Chief Jeffrey Clark told reporters that this was possibly a “crime of opportunity.”

A 22-year-old woman getting murdered in broad daylight on one of the biggest college campuses in America, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who’d been detained by authorities multiple times already. That’s where we are now.

Two young Americans k*lled just in the last two weeks by illegal aliens.
They would be alive today if our border was closed and immigration laws enforced.
But to Biden and this lawless regime, their deaths are acceptable collateral damage. pic.twitter.com/15D9IPERT3

Nursing student Laken Riley did not know suspected killer Jose Ibarra, who is not a US citizen: police
By Patrick Reilly, NY Post, Feb. 23, 2024
A 26-year-old man believed to have entered the US illegally has been charged with murdering nursing student Laken Riley, whose body was found on the University of Georgia campus after going for a run, according to police.
Jose Antonio Ibarra was arrested on Friday for allegedly kidnapping and killing the 22-year-old Augusta University junior, UGA Police Chief Jeffrey Clark told reporters at a press conference Friday night.
Ibarra was not a UGA student and is not a US Citizen, Clark said.
He and Riley had no prior relationship.
“He did not know her at all. I think this is a crime of opportunity where he saw an individual and bad things happened,” Clark said.
Ibarra is a Venezuelan national who illegally crossed the southern border into El Paso, Texas in September 2022, News Nation reported, citing multiple DHS sources. He was released from DHS custody over a lack of detention space, according to the outlet.
ADVERTISEMENTRiley, a dean’s list student and sorority member, was found dead with “visible injuries” in a wooded area near Lake Herrick around 12:38 p.m. Thursday.
Clark confirmed Friday that she died of “blunt force trauma.”
Her alleged killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, was arrested and charged in the killing on Friday.Ibarra’s apartment in Athens was being searched by authorities while Clark spoke, but he said police had enough evidence to charge him before the search warrant was executed.
“The evidence is robust. It is supported by key input by the community, physical evidence and expert police work. Importantly, we were assisted by video footage from our campus security cameras network,” Clark said.
Three or four persons of interest had been questioned but only Ibaira was charged.
