Georgia police are looking for a murder suspect who ran over a 65-year old widow as he was making his getaway Tuesday from a purse-snatching in a Wal-Mart parking lot.
According to WXIA, TV11 in Atlanta, the incident took place about 8 p.m. in Covington, Georgia, when the victim, Marsha Penn Johnson, was leaving the store and a man snatched her purse and knocked her down, then got in his car and ran over Johnson several times before fleeing.
Witnesses attempted to block his exit but he still made off with the purse, leaving Johnson to die in the parking lot, the station reported.
Johnson, who had recently retired, was getting by on her own since her husband’s death several months ago, WXIA reported. Police Who Care, Crimestoppers and Wal-Mart are offering a $10,000 reward to anyone who can help locate the killer and his accomplice.
The suspects are a large Hispanic male and a female passenger traveling in a 1990s model Honda Accord. If it is determined that the attacker is an illegal immigrant, the incident will most certainly draw attention and serve to add fuel to the fire in the latest controversy surrounding illegals and sanctuary cities that protect them.
According to the Daily Signal, Georgia is a “Haven for Violent Illegal Immigrants.”
U.S. Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga, issued a statement to the Daily Signal regarding the growing number of illegal aliens in his state.
“This is a disturbing trend that has to stop…The reality is violent illegal immigrants are repeatedly entering our country and posing a dangerous risk to our families and communities. Too many victims have unjustly suffered the consequences of President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty and lack of action to address this illegal immigration crisis.”
Georgia deports more illegals than every other state that isn’t a border state. In 2013, Georgia deported over 7,000 illegals, half of whom had been deported before, and over 1,000 were convicted felons, the Daily Signal reported.
When will the U.S. take action, close the borders, build a wall, and outlaw sanctuary cities?
