Indianapolis Colts Linebacker Edwin Jackson Killed By Mexican Immigrant

I note that this information was barely mentioned yesterday.  And Jackson was mowed down the morning of Super Bowl LII!

From the Washington Times (dated February 4, 2018):
Mexican immigrant without license accused in DUI death of Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson

The man accused of killing an NFL player and another man in a DUI-related crash Sunday morning is a Mexican immigrant whom authorities are trying to deport, according to charging documents.

Police say 37-year-old Alex Cabrera Gonsales drove a black Ford F-150 pickup truck onto the emergency shoulder along Interstate 70 around 4 a.m. Sunday, plowed into a ride-share vehicle, and killed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson and 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe of Avon.

Booking documents from the Marion County Jail, which can be searched for at http://inmateinfo.indy.gov/IML and found at case number 1804804, show that Mr. Cabrera Gonsales is an immigrant from Mexico who is subject to deportation.

Mr. Cabrera Gonsales didn’t have a driver’s license, tried to flee the scene of the accident and had a blood-alcohol level of at least .15 (nearly twice the legal limit), authorities said....

Edwin Jackson appears to have been a man of excellent character, When in college:
Jackson was nominated for the Burlsworth Trophy, which nationally honors former walk-on players who have made significant contributions to their school's team. He was also nominated for the Wuerffel Trophy, which acknowledges players who show exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. Also, Jackson was nominated for AllState Good Works Team for his volunteer work at a local Statesboro elementary school, and hosting a football clinic for children in Costa Rica during his Christmas break.
Also:
Jackson grew up in Atlanta and was renowned as a great all-around athlete who was his team’s kicker and punter was well as a linebacker, and also was a champion wrestler. He initially played college football at Georgia Southern as a walk-on but later earned a scholarship, and made it to the NFL as an undrafted free agent, first with the Cardinals and then with the Colts. He played all 16 games in 2016 but spent the 2017 season on injured reserve. Jackson was 26 years old.
Considering the above, it is quite astounding that he wasn't publicly acknowledged yesterday at Super Bowl LII.

Edwin Jackson, dead at the age of 26, mowed down by a drunk illegal immigrant, even as Jackson was stopped by the side of the road possibly as he was being a Good Samaritan (or the other man killed was being a Good Samaritan.

Red. Drunks love the color red. Now, the final "collar" of this illegal immigrant is also "red".

Bloodshed. Vehicular homicide.It just pisses me off.

Tag-teaming with you AOW - even as we have discussed this on the telephone early a.m.

Was he illegal?

The article does not say he was illegal.

But I have heard that he was.

More information:

The suspect was wanted for deportation either for being in the U.S. illegally or having committed a serious crime.

American citizens are not deported. I think that those nationals who are here "on probation" can be deported. DACA requirement -- although I have no idea as to the DACA status of Alex Cabrera Gonsales.

DACA requirement:

under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012

Could Alex Cabrera Gonsales have been under age 31 as of June 15, 2012?

A green card holder (legal permanent resident) can be deported if they commit a crime. The "permanent" in legal permanent resident means that your legal status does not have a certain expiration date. Green card holders' legal status is at the pleasure of the United States government. It is not actually permanent as in "eternally secure."
