() Texas authorities and officials will address arrests made in the fatal hit-and-run Jet Ski death of a teenager over Memorial Day Weekend.

Ava Moore, 18, was reportedly hit by a Jet Ski while kayaking on Lake Grapevine near Dallas, Texas, on Sunday.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday announced two arrests in Moore’s death: Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and Maikel Coello Perozo, both 21.

Gonzalez Gonzalez is accused of hitting and killing Moore with a Jet Ski and then fleeing with Coella Perozo in a vehicle, according to a release from Paxton. The pair allegedly then hit another vehicle while fleeing the scene.

A passenger on the Jet Ski remained on the scene, according to the Grapevine Police Department. That person has not yet been identified.

Paxton called Gonzalez Gonzalez, a Venezuelan national, an “illegal alien who should have never been in our country in the first place.” He said the same of Coella Perozo.

“My heart breaks for Ava’s family and friends, and my prayers are with them as they face this tragedy,” Paxton said in a statement.

The United States Air Force Academy posted its condolences on Facebook.

“We lost an exemplary teammate this weekend Cadet Candidate Ava Moore, whose passion for leadership and service left an impact on everyone she met. Ava’s constant happiness and attitude helped her squadron get through the challenges of the Prep School, and her drive to excel was on display as she sought out leadership positions to improve herself and her team.”
