Six illegal immigrants, including three minors, were recently arrested and charged for murdering a woman after surrounding her vehicle in South Carolina.
In a recent press release, the Department of Homeland Security announced that six illegal immigrants had been arrested and charged with the “random murder” of Larisha Sharell Thompson, attempted armed robbery, and burglary.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, the six illegal immigrants from Honduras, identified as Jeyson Salgado-Pineda, Asael Torres-Chirinos, Jarby Ramos-Ardon, and three minors ages 13, 14, and 15, allegedly pulled up next to Thompson’s vehicle, fatally shot the South Carolina mother, and tried entering her vehicle. The Department of Homeland Security added that in addition to being charged for murdering an “innocent mother,” the illegal immigrants have been accused of trying to rob a convenience store.
“Each is charged in arrest warrants with Murder, Attempted Armed Robbery, and Burglary Second Degree,” Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Attorney Doug Barfield said in a statement to The National News Desk. “Torres-Chirinos is believed to have fired the pistol during both incidents. He is also charged with two counts of Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Violent Crime and one count of Possession of a Firearm by an Unlawful Alien.”

Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile told The National News Desk that the fatal shooting of Thompson “defies any sense of decency in a civilized society.”
“Ms. Thompson was going about her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone,” Faile said. “All of a sudden these six men and boys, out to get something for nothing from someone they did not know and had no business bothering, pulled alongside her car, and Torres-Chirinos opened fire, killing Ms. Thompson.”
In the recent press release, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had placed detainers on the six illegal immigrants charged with Thompson’s murder ahead of their expected criminal prosecution in South Carolina.
“Larisha Sharell Thompson’s life was tragically taken by criminal illegal aliens. She was a mother who was driving to a friend’s house when her life was brutally taken by these criminal aliens who should have never been in our country,” Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said. “President Trump and Secretary Noem will always fight for the victims of illegal alien crime and their families. The safety of American citizens comes first.”
