REPORT: DACA Illegal Alien Accused of Murdering 22-Year-Old Las Vegas Woman

3

From Breitbart: An illegal alien, shielded from deportation by former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, has been extradited to the United States to face murder charges in connection with the death of a 22-year-old woman in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Erick Rangel-Ibarra, a 30-year-old DACA illegal alien whose parents crossed the southern border when he was 8 months old, is back in the United States after spending four years on the run in Mexico.

On Aug. 29, 2020, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department alleges that Rangel-Ibarra murdered 22-year-old Lesly Palacio at his residence before getting his father, Jose Rangel, to help him move the woman’s body into the bed of a truck.

Palacio’s remains were found two weeks later in the Valley of Fire State Park.

The report explains that Rangel-Ibarra’s father was convicted of helping his son move Palacio’s body, but only had to serve 9 months in prison.

Meanwhile, police believe Rangel-Ibarra fled back to Mexico within 48 hours of the murder. He was finally arrested by Mexican police in July 2024, but wasn’t returned to the U.S. to face justice until August 2025.

The captured fugitive is now behind bars at the Las Vegas jail, and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

The Las Vegas police released video footage of Rangel-Ibarra being returned to their custody.

The Las Vegas Police held a press release on the case last Thursday, August 28.
