Illegal Alien Killer Protected by Nebraska 'Sanctuary City' Vanishes After Paying Bond
The Honduran Mejia, 19, killed 21-year-old Sarah Root while allegedly street racing on January 31, rear-ending her so hard she succumbed to her fatal injuries that same night. Police found Mejia's blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit, and the alien had "a suspended driver's license."
Root had graduated from Bellevue University with a 4.0 GPA just the day before.
Although Mejia faced up to 20 years in prison for killing Root, Judge Jeffrey Marcuzzo set Mejia's bond at $50,000. Mejia's brother paid the necessary $5,000-ten percent and the illegal promptly disappeared, rubbing salt in the mourning Root family's wounds.
Police did not contact Root's family to warn them they freed their daughter's killer.
