From Fox News: At least one of the three suspects arrested in connection with the shooting death of a French Quarter tour guide in New Orleans is an illegal immigrant with a criminal history on American soil, according to immigration authorities.
The immigration status of the other two suspects was not immediately clear.
New Orleans police arrested Joshua Bonifacio-Avila, 19, Jerben Albarec, 17, and Kevin Nunez, 15, the day after the slaying of 43-year-old Kristie Thibodeaux in her car on St. Peter Street, the morning of June 30.
Nunez is accused of pulling the trigger. And Aviala-Bonifacio, a Honduras national, is accused of entering the country illegally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement told Fox News Digital.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced Tuesday, “I have ordered the Louisiana Department of Justice to open an investigation into the ankle monitoring contracts with the Juvenile Court system in New Orleans. What happened to Kristie Thibodeaux should have never happened.”

Sen. John Kennedy slammed Joe Biden, writing in a social media post on Thursday, “Pres. Biden’s open border has provided the perfect cover for criminals to break into our country and victimize innocent Louisianians. I’m praying for Kristie Thibodeaux’s family and our communities. Louisianians are demanding that the Biden admin ENFORCE the LAW.”
