A man residing unlawfully in Georgia is now confronted with numerous charges after he allegedly caused a fatal car accident while intoxicated, resulting in the tragic death of a father with young children.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, “On May 1, Deiby Jhonatan Janamejoy Jansasoy, an undocumented immigrant from Colombia, was apprehended for vehicular manslaughter, driving under the influence, and operating a vehicle without a valid license after causing the death of a Georgia father.”
The statement further revealed, “Janamejoy Jansasoy unlawfully entered the United States in 2023 and was RELEASED into the community by the Biden Administration without undergoing any vetting process.”

The post also noted, “ICE has issued a detainer, requesting local authorities to inform ICE before releasing this undocumented immigrant from custody.”
As reported by the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office, the 27-year-old driver, operating a Ford Escape, veered across the center line and collided with a Chevrolet Silverado driven by 47-year-old Michael Sharpe, a father of two.

The county is located just northeast of Savannah, Georgia.
Sharpe, who was trapped inside his vehicle and had to be extracted by a fire crew, was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Janamejoy Jansasoy attempted to leave the hospital before he was discharged, “presumably due to being wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for deportation,” according to the sheriff’s office.

“Due to this behavior and inherent flight risk due to attempting to leave, Jansasoy was immediately arrested and taken to the Effingham County Jail,” the sheriff’s office said.
Janamejoy Jansasoy could face more charges.
