Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened the death penalty for two illegal immigrants suspected in the fatal jet ski hit-and-run of 18-year-old Air Force recruit, Ava Moore.
“Welcome to Texas. Here’s your death penalty,” the Republican wrote in a post on X, with a news video about the deadly incident and the arrest of the suspects.
Moore, who had only just joined the US Air Force, died after she was struck by a jet ski while kayaking on Grapevine Lake on Sunday evening.
Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and an unnamed male suspect were both arrested on Tuesday after a standoff with police at their Dallas-area home, according to Fox 4.
Gonzalez was on the jet ski with another woman when they allegedly crashed into Moore before she fled the scene with the other suspect in a car, hitting another vehicle as they bolted.
The other woman on the jet ski remained behind and was interviewed by cops.
