An elderly woman was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by armed thugs who had tried to rob her and her husband outside of a high-end mall in Orange County, according to California police. The Newport Beach Police Department said the incident began when two males approached the couple outside of the Barnes and Noble bookstore at Fashion Island shopping center on Tuesday at about 3:30 p.m. 'Frankly, to hell with these guys. They knew exactly what they were doing.' The two tried to rob the couple, but they fought back, police said. At that point, police said that a getaway car described as a white Toyota Camry pulled up to the altercation. One of the suspects ran off and fired his gun several times, but no one was injured. When the white Toyota Camry sped away, the driver ran over the woman. “Tragically and unfortunately, she was deceased there in the roadway," said Newport PD Sgt. Steve Oberon. Police said that the suspects in the car were able to find the third suspect who had run off and they then led police on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles that reached up to 110 mph. They then abandoned the car in South Gate and ran off on foot. The three suspects were captured and arrested by police. Oberon could not say what the alleged robbers were after, whether it was jewelry or shopping bags. “All of that will come out in the investigation,” he added. “I don’t have that information at this time.”Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill credited an overwhelming response from law enforcement for the capture of the suspects. “You know, frankly, to hell with these guys,” O’Neill said. “They knew exactly what they were doing when they decided to come into our city to commit a crime and a woman is dead because of it.”Police said the husband was not physically injured in the altercation. The deceased woman was later identified as 68-year-old Patricia McKay. The couple were tourists from New Zealand. The suspects were identified as 28-year-old Leroyernest Joseph McCrary of Compton, 18-year-old Jaden Cunningham of Lancaster, and 18-year-old Malachi Darnell of Los Angeles. Like Blaze News?

A man who caused a lethal accident while under the influence of alcohol is an illegal alien, according to federal law enforcement. 21-year-old Jesus Sandoval-Martinez was driving a black 2008 Dodge pickup when he ran a red light and slammed into two other vehicles in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Monday just after midnight. 'Witnesses told police the man was slurring his speech and appeared to be impaired.' Police said that they found open alcohol containers in the pickup. The other vehicles were a Tesla and a Corolla. One of the drivers, Tiger Gutierrez, died after being transported to a hospital while the other driver, Mia Montoya, was critically injured. A third person in the crash received minor injuries. Sandoval-Martinez tried to flee from the scene after the crash, but witnesses stopped him and detained him until police arrived. Arrest records say that witnesses told police the man was slurring his speech and appeared to be impaired. Police said he failed sobriety tests and found no record of his being issued a driver's license. He was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital, where he told police that he had only ingested two beers that evening. Sandoval-Martinez was charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, reckless driving, and leaving the scene of an accident resulting in great bodily harm or death before he was booked into the Bernalillo County jail.ICE later confirmed that he was illegally present in the U.S. and issued an immigration detainer for the man. He is reportedly from Mexico. They added that they had no prior encounters with the man. Both of the victims in the crash were volleyball coaches, according to an Instagram post from the E3 Volleyball program. Illegal alien crime has become a pivotal issue in the 2024 presidential campaign after immigrants crossed the Mexico-U.S. border at historic rates. Former President Donald Trump has blamed current President Joe Biden and his lax policies for the illegal crossings and for any violent crime committed by illegal aliens. A recent poll found that a large majority of Americans see illegal alien crime as one of the top issues of the campaign and also that Democrats are to blame for easing restrictions at the border, 79% and 64% respectively.
