Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has threatened the death penalty for two illegal immigrants suspected in the fatal jet ski hit-and-run of 18-year-old Air Force recruit, Ava Moore.
“Welcome to Texas. Here’s your death penalty,” the Republican wrote in a post on X, with a news video about the deadly incident and the arrest of the suspects.
Moore, who had only just joined the US Air Force, died after she was struck by a jet ski while kayaking on Grapevine Lake on Sunday evening.
Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and Maikel Perozo were both arrested on Tuesday after a standoff with police at their Dallas-area home, according to Fox 4.
Gonzalez was driving the jet ski with another woman when they allegedly crashed into Moore before Gonzalez fled the scene with Perozo in a blue Toyota Corolla, hitting two other vehicles as they bolted.
The other woman on the jet ski remained behind and was interviewed by cops.
The jet ski was seen making several “reckless” passes along the shoreline before it crashed into Moore, witnesses told police, according to an arrest warrant affidavit seen by Fox 4 News.
Gonzalez, from Venezuela, is charged with second-degree felony manslaughter, and her bond is set at $500,000 according to the affidavit.
Perozo, who was driving the car, has been charged with an accident involving injury, with additional charges expected Wednesday.
Gonzalez is not currently charged with a capital felony.
Both were in the country illegally, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement Tuesday. --->READ MORE HERE

Daikerlyn Gonzalez-Gonzalez faces manslaughter charge, and Maikel Perozo is accused of helping her flee after Lake Grapevine jet ski crash
Packed suitcases were found during the arrests of two illegal aliens charged in the death of an Air Force cadet candidate over the weekend.
Over Memorial Day weekend, 18-year-old Ava Moore was killed while kayaking on Lake Grapevine in Texas after she was hit by a jet ski.
The suspected driver of the jet ski and a man who allegedly helped her flee, both illegal aliens from Venezuela, were arrested in Dallas Tuesday.
Daikerlyn Alejandraa Gonzalez-Gonzalez, 22, was charged with second-degree manslaughter, a felony.
Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, is accused of picking her up and fleeing. Authorities allege Perozo hit another vehicle while speeding off. He has been charged with a collision involving damage to a vehicle and hindering apprehension, both misdemeanors.
According to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 4, the suspects were found with their bags packed at the time of their arrests. Perozo reportedly told police he helped Gonzalez flee so she could avoid being captured.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department led the investigation.
President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security on Thursday slammed the previous administration for open-border policies it says led to the death of the Air Force cadet candidate.
"Ava Moore was a patriot serving her country when she was killed by an illegal alien in a hit-and-run over Memorial Day weekend. This senseless tragedy was 100 percent preventable," DHS said in a post on X.
"Daikerlyn Gonzalez and Maikel Perozo entered the U.S. illegally in 2023 and were released into our interior," the post continued. --->READ MORE HERE
