Americans at risk 'anywhere' after 6 illegal immigrants are charged in mother's murder: congressman
Share this @internewscast.com

A congressman from South Carolina is raising concerns about threats facing Americans “anywhere” after four years of open borders, following the random murder of a Lancaster mother of two last month.

The remarks follow the action by Lancaster authorities who have charged six individuals, aged between 13 and 21, all of whom are undocumented immigrants, in relation to the murder of Larisha Thompson on May 2. She was fatally shot while driving to meet friends in Rock Hill.

“Two children will be deprived of their mother returning home,” Republican South Carolina Representative Ralph Norman expressed to Fox News Digital during a phone chat. “This type of incident can occur anywhere, at any time. It’s the unfortunate reality. It’s something witnessed nationwide.”

He added that while Laken Riley, the Augusta University student killed by illegal Venezuelan migrant Jose Ibarra in February 2024, has become “the face” of crimes committed by those living illegally in the United States, there are similar victims in states across the country, including Thompson and others, such as Lizbeth Medina, Jocelyn Nungaray, Rachel Morin and Kayla Hamilton.

Through digital surveillance, investigators also identified Torres-Chirinos at the scene of both crimes. They questioned him at the sheriff’s office on May 8, and by the end of that day, they had identified, located and detained the five additional suspects.

The three adult suspects are charged with murder, attempted armed robbery and second-degree burglary. Authorities believe Torres-Chirinos fired the handgun in both incidents, and he is charged with two counts of firearms possession during the commission of a crime and one count of firearms possession by an unlawful alien. A judge denied bond for all three men.

The three juvenile suspects are also charged with murder, attempted armed robbery and second-degree burglary.

All six suspects are subject to removal from the United States under federal immigration law based on their immigration status, the sheriff’s office said. 

Thompson’s family is “grieving and trying to get their heads around how something like this could happen,” Faile added.
