Illegal Alien MS-13 Gang Members Charged in MURDER of 17-Year-Old Walking to a Bus Stop in Virginia
 Three illegal immigrants were charged Saturday in connection with the murder of a 17-year-old Virginia high school student who was gunned down on his way to a bus stop Friday morning. Danny Centeno-Miranda, who attended Park View High in Loudoun County, was about 50 yards from the school bus stop when he was shot twice in the back. Centeno-Miranda, who moved to Virginia from his native El Salvador to live with relatives in 2013, died later at Inova Fairfax Hospital. Three suspects, from Sterling, Va., were arrested Saturday morning, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced, according to the paper. A 17-year-old is charged with second-degree murder and with using a firearm while committing a felony. His name was not released because he is a minor. Henry Dominguez Vasquez, 20, and Juan Aguirre Zelaya, 18, also were arrested and charged with being accessories to the shooting and with possession of a firearm while in the country illegally, the paper reported. Both reportedly entered the United States last year. The 17-year-old, he said, is believed to be from Mexico. |
RALEIGH - Melissa Huggins-Jones had come to Raleigh two years ago to start a new life. The mother of two was newly divorced in 2013 and had been given an opportunity by the bank she worked for in Tennessee to manage its first out-of-state branch. In early May 2013, Huggins-Jones moved into an apartment complex off Six Forks Road near North Hills. She selected it, friends and family have said, because she thought it was safe. Her daughter Olivia, 8 at the time, moved with her, and her son, then 12, stayed behind in Tennessee with his father to finish the school year there. That new life of Huggins-Jones had barely begun when police say two men and a woman on a robbery spree robbed the 30-year-old mother of her future. Ronald Lee Anthony Jr., 25, and an accomplice took turns stabbing and bludgeoning Huggins-Jones, prosecutors said. Anthony, 25, was charged with murder on May 22, 2013, along with Travion Devonte Smith, 22, of Raleigh, and Sarah Rene Redden, 20, of Wake Forest. - (Black-on-white)

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — It was a wild scene Tuesday in a Westchester County courthouse as a judge sentenced a 16-year-old rapist.

As the court session ended, the older victim threw a wedge shoe at Roberts’ mother out of frustration. The woman was struck in the head and later wheeled out to an ambulance. She was not seriously hurt. The victim was not taken into custody, but was given a ticket.
