At Least 7 Dead At U.S.-Mexico Border, Multiple Injured After Car Mows Over Pedestrians: Reports
By  Ryan Saavedra

May 7, 2023   DailyWire.com

Multiple people died on Sunday in South Texas at the U.S.-Mexico border after a vehicle reportedly ran over more than a dozen people, many of whom were migrants.

Video of the aftermath showed numerous bodies severely disfigured, including victims who had missing limbs, with the road and sidewalk covered in blood.

ABC News reported that the incident happened in Brownsville, Texas, which is right across the border from Matamoros, Mexico, and has resulted in at least seven deaths and at least six more suffering injuries. Mexican media said that the number of people injured was more than 15.

Brownsville Police Department Lt. Martin Sandoval told local media that the male driver was arrested on charges of reckless driving and that he is now being treated in the hospital while under guard by authorities. Officials are conducting drug and alcohol tests on the suspect.

Sandoval said that more charges will be filed and that it is looking like this was an intentional act.

The incident happened at approximately 8:30 a.m. local time at the Ozanam Center, which was originally established to house refugees from South America.

Meh.  Illegal aliens.  If they weren't trying to break into the U.S., they wouldn't have been injured.  Go home!

This mass murderer - like the Allen, TX, mall shooter - allegedly also hispanic. The Brownsville incident said to be intentional (though I don't know on what basis).

Demonstrating that the problem isn't the existence of tools that can be turned into weapons - e.g., guns - but the existence of a murderous mentality on the part of the person who uses those tools for murderous ends.

(Reuters)—At least eight pedestrians were killed and several others injured on Sunday when an SUV mowed down people near a homeless shelter that attends to migrants in Brownsville, Texas, police said.
 
The male driver was in custody, Lieutenant Martin Sandoval of the Brownsville Police Department said, adding he was charged with reckless driving and could face additional charges.

Sandoval said the driver, a Hispanic man, is being "uncooperative" with authorities. Police have resorted to fingerprinting the man in an effort to determine his identity. Police are also awaiting the results of a blood and toxicology test on the driver, Sandoval said.

Sandoval said the victims in the morning crash were waiting at a bus stop near Ozanam Center, a shelter for the homeless used by migrants. He said some migrants were among the dead.

Police ID suspect after car plowed into crowd outside Texas migrant center
George Alvarez, 34, identified as driver who struck crowd outside of migrant shelter in Brownsville, Texas
By Stephen Sorace | Fox News

The driver suspected of ramming an SUV into a crowd of pedestrians who were waiting at a bus stop outside a migrant center in Brownsville, Texas, on Sunday has been identified.

George Alvarez, 34, was behind the wheel of the Range Rover that struck 18 people outside Brownsville's Ozanam Center, a shelter for migrants and homeless people in the community, Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda told reporters Monday.

Alvarez, whom police said has a long rap sheet, has been formally charged and arraigned on 8 counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was already charged with reckless driving in the early stages of the investigation.

The victims were waiting at a city bus stop next to the center at roughly 8:30 a.m. Sunday, when the crash occurred.



Six people were killed at the scene, and two others died later, police said. Nearly a dozen others were injured and rushed to area hospitals.

Officials previously confirmed that all eight people who died in the crash were migrants.

I'm sure the MSM was hoping for a white male so this must really bum them out.  I guess they can always claim he's part of the vast right wing conspiracy. :headbang:

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love.

They'll claim he had a RWDS patch on his shirt somewhere, making him a member in good standing of the "Right Wing Death Squad", whatever the h*ll that is.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (Border Report) — The deaths of eight men at a bus stop across from a migrant shelter in Brownsville, Texas was being called a “hate crime” by some and “tragic accident” by others, as a memorial for the victims grew with visitors on Monday.

At least 10 others were injured Sunday when a gray SUV plowed into the group that was waiting for a city bus across from the nonprofit Ozanam Center, an overnight shelter that helps migrants.

The driver, who police on Monday identified as George Alvarez, 34, has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bond was set at $3.6 million, and he has a lengthy criminal record, Brownsville Police Chief Felix Sauceda said Monday.

Alvarez crashed onto the sidewalk where many were waiting for a city bus. He then attempted to flee, but was held down by people at the scene, Sauceda said. The SUV had run a red light, lost control and flipped on its side when it struck 18 people, including several from Venezuela, Sauceda said.

Note the name of the driver.  You know the media is searching for a way to turn this into a white hate crime. :tongue2:
