Authorities Arrest Illegal Immigrant Teen From Venezuela for Times Square Shooting
Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, a 15-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, is also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx
The US Marshals Fugitive Recovery Task Force arrested Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, a 15-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, in connection with the shooting of a tourist in Times Square.
The kid is also suspected of shooting at cops.
NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell described the boy as “armed and dangerous.”
Rivas-Figueroa is also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx:
It came just moments after NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell identified Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa as the “armed and dangerous” person of interest in connection with the chaotic incident at the Crossroads of the World Thursday night.
He arrived in New York from Venezuela in September and has been staying at a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street, Chell said.
He is also a suspect in an armed robbery in the Bronx from January 27, and another incident in which shots were fired in Midtown, the police official said.
The teen is considered “armed and dangerous” with what police believe is a “very large” .40-caliber handgun, Chell added.
He allegedly fired two shots at police officers when fleeing Thursday night.
“He had no problems firing into a crowd at a store … and not shooting at cops once, but shooting at them twice,” Chell said of Rivas-Figueroa.
“We’re not gonna put up with this,” he insisted.
I wonder if DA Alvin Bragg will request bail.
Bragg requested bail for only one of the several suspects, all illegal immigrants from Venezuela, in the beating of two NYPD cops. Authorities believe at least four of the suspects fled.
Bragg tried to make it sound like he was tough on crime by bringing the case to a grand jury, which indicted seven of the illegal immigrants.
Except, you know, authorities only have one in custody.

So a 15 year old illegal can obtain a handgun illegally, but my state wants to prevent me from legally obtaining one.
I call Fake News. I have it on the highest authority that you are not allowed to possess a handgun in NYC, therefore this could not possibly have happened. Take that, you H8ters! I’m not fooled.
“He allegedly fired two shots at police officers when fleeing Thursday night.”
Did police shout back at the prick?
Probably. That’s likely the only thing that the current mayor would authorize.
You have to realize that an illegally invading criminal is the kind of person that the State wants here, while as a law abiding citizen and not a serf you are the opposite.

15-years-old. No documents. Non-citizen. Acquires a gun. Gun control seems to be as effective as the Covid vaccines. Both are lauded for their ability to prevent bad outcomes, until they don’t, and then more of both is encouraged, only to create a new cycle.
Biden, you demented piece of shit, this one’s on YOU!!!

Another bad hombre, it seems
A psychotic “Dreamer” who dreams of shooting innocent citizens and police officers.
Don’t worry. This 15 years-old will have any charges plea bargained down to simple misdemeanors, given a slap on the hand and be told not to do it again, and then released back into society to continue his violent ways. Guaranteed that nothing much in the way of serious punishment will be given him.
Oh, and please do something about that last video embed. Evidently it’s been removed by the person who uploaded it and is no longer available. Thanks.
“Migrant child”
“Undocumented American child.”
His behavior warrants the death penalty.
Oh look, Big City gun control crap doesn’t work again.
Sure didn’t take long to start a crime spree once they got here, they must be so grateful
I admit to surprise. I figured that the criminal doing the shooting would NOT be caught because the Leftist chain of command all the way to the White House does not want such and the police are backing off of the invaders under orders. That implies that either they are in fact watching them more closely than it appears [and therefore are in a position to interfere with some of the criminal acts], or they have picked up a similar criminal with a similar MO.
In either case, I expect that as noted by someone else that bond [probably PR] will be granted or that Rivas-Figueroa will find some other means to rabbit and not be caught. In any case, being a tourist let alone a resident of any city the invaders are settling in has life-threatening risks.

The surveillance state knows where everyone is. It just depends on if you are valuable enough to find. He shot at cops (the civilians don’t count) and NYC is having issues keeping cops. Note US Marshals pick him up. Probably located by NSA.
Violent migrant attacks are increasing. Open borders biden is smiling.
Come on, Mary. It’s illegal ALIEN, not illegal immigrant. Immigrants are legal by definition.
Liar.
There’s no such thing as a bad boy. Just sit Jesus down and have him watch Boys Town and maybe listen to some uplifting pop songs sung by 40s crooners. You will soon see his eyes tear up and the beginning of a new, productive life.
My God even when you try to do sarcastic humor all you end up doing is showing what a lame ass you are. Stick to cringeworthy homosexual insinuations – those seem to be your talent.
One of the assailants in the Time’s Square police attack is already back on the street committing more crimes, according to the NYPD Deputy Commissioner…
