Last month, illegal immigrant Edgar Omar Torres-Rangel, 28, was enjoying a Mexican rodeo at Rancho La Herradura in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. He became intoxicated but decided to drive himself home. He ended up on the wrong side of the highway and hit Keri King’s vehicle head-on. King died at the scene.

Torres-Rangel was injured and taken to the hospital. That’s the last authorities have seen of him.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has offered a $5,000 reward leading to Torres-Rangel’s arrest.

There has been no comment from authorities on how he escaped or if there were officers assigned to arrest him once he was released. Federal patient privacy laws prohibit hospital personnel from notifying law enforcement when a patient is released, but officers could have waited with him.

They didn’t.

My Take

There are so many questions surrounding this case. Was there any way to prevent Torres-Rangel from being in the country illegally? Why wasn’t he taken into custody the moment he was able to be released? Where is he now?

I’ll defer my opinion on this one because Jeff Boyce, who knew the victim well, said plenty in this heartfelt interview he gave after King’s death:

Tennessee Woman Killed by Alleged Illegal Immigrant Was ‘An Angel’ in Life “One minute I’m so angry I can’t even explain how angry I am, and it makes me so sad I want to cry,” Boyce told The Tennessee Star Tuesday, before his voice broke and he started sobbing. “One minute I’m so angry I can’t even explain how angry I am, and it makes me so sad I want to cry,” Boyce told The Tennessee Star Tuesday, before his voice broke and he started sobbing. “I will spend every penny I’ve got to run a damn front page ad in every paper in this state right before election time and I will tell Keri’s story,” Boyce said, as a warning to any state legislator who won’t help.

“People say her older sister is broken because of this. I’m mad. I’m ready for the family to get mad. I’m ready for Keri to get justice,” Boyce said.

Keri King’s name must be added to the long list of American citizens whose lives were taken by illegal immigrants. It’s inexcusable that men like Edgar Torres-Rangel are protected by the left while their victims are ignored.
