How Did an Alien Accused of Murder Both Here and Abroad Get Into the United States?
And why doesn’t anybody care about a savagely slain migrant mother and toddler?
By Andrew R. Arthur on May 30, 2024
In early May, I wrote about a gruesome double murder that occurred in Dover, Fla., a small town about 20 miles from Tampa. The accused and the victims were all apparently here illegally, all from Guatemala. New information indicates that the accused is also wanted back in his home country for not one, but two separate murders. This again raises the question of how he was able to get into the United States, and why nobody seems to care about a migrant mother and toddler who were brutally killed.
The Defendant, the Victims, and the Offense Charged. The defendant in this case is Angel Gabriel Cuz Choc, a 31-year-old who, as noted, he has been identified as a Guatemalan national here illegally. The victims were Amalia Coc Choc De Pec, aged 36, and her four-year-old daughter Estrella Anastasia Pec Coc — again, each Guatemalan and each here illegally.
Various news reports — almost exclusively local reporting — indicate the three resided in a trailer home on Sumner Road in Dover. Police were called to the residence at 5:30 PM on April 25 when a fourth roommate returned to the residence and discovered Coc Choc De Pec outside the residence, lying in a pool of blood.
When officers arrived and entered the trailer, they found little girl’s lifeless body in a tub. The two had died about two hours earlier. The roommate informed officers of numerous quarrels between Cuz Choc and Coc Choc De Pec, and a manhunt ensued. The defendant was arrested 17 hours later.
