U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents told Ohio sheriff's deputies weeks ago not to detain a man who is in the U.S. illegally and now suspected of killing a woman and wounding another during a crime spree, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Lake County sheriff's deputies questioned 35-year-old Juan Emmanuel Razo on July 7 after finding him alone in a car in Painesville, about 30 miles east of Cleveland. Unsure of Razo's status, the deputies contacted Border Protection officials and were told he is from Mexico and in the U.S. illegally but they didn't want him detained.
Lake County Sheriff Dan Dunlap said at a news conference Tuesday that deputies released Razo because he hadn't committed a crime at that point.
A Border Protection spokesman did not return telephone messages seeking comment. A spokesman for U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement said in an email that ICE was closely monitoring the case. The email identified Razo as Juan Emmanuel Razo-Ramirez.
Razo was arrested Monday after a shootout with police. A detective said during a court hearing Tuesday that Razo has confessed. A judge set his bond at $10 million.
Razo has been charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a 40-year-old woman Monday afternoon as she walked with her two children along a bike path in Concord Township. She was shot in the arm. Just over an hour later, a man told park rangers he'd found his wife, 60-year-old Margaret Kostelnik, shot to death in their home near the bike path.
The Lake County coroner said Kostelnik was shot multiple times.
The manhunt for Razo began late Monday morning after a 14-year-old girl told police he had tried to rape her in another section of the park. The Lake County prosecutor said evidence in the slaying of Kostelnik and the attempted rape will be presented to a grand jury.
A public defender entered a not guilty plea for Razo on Tuesday. .
This scum murdered a woman, wounded another woman who was walking with her kids, and tried to rape a 14 year old girl.
If you don't have a weapon, you're a sitting duck.
I hope this crime gets the same coverage as Kate’s. Pressure needs to be kept up.
At the ABSOLUTE minimum, these local LEAs should be INSISTING on these Federal Officials personally coming to their facility and providing written direction, WITH SIGNATURES, to that effect. If it was me as a sheriff, I’d have those Fed m’effers processed just like a perp before I let one of these little Mexican criminals get away.
Just another illegal doing the raping, murdering, robing, drug dealing, child molesting and drunk driving that Americans refuse to do.
Where did he get the gun? Has that been reported on yet?
“deputies released Razo because he hadn’t committed a crime at that point.”
So sneaking across the border isn’t a crime?
“U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents told Ohio sheriff’s deputies weeks ago not to detain a man who is in the U.S. illegally and now suspected of killing a woman and wounding another during a crime spree”
The head of Customs and the head of DHS should be arrested as accessories to murder.
I just posted a link on Trump’s faceboook page. I hope someone shows it to him.
Kasich wants to show some guts? He could announce that the state of OH will take custody of such cases and throw them in jail. Kasich was just given a situation where he could be presidential.
Probably won't happen, which is a talking point that he's not gutsy enough to be President.
JMHO
I think attitudes at the most basic level of government need to be changed. Local governments, county government. Sheriffs and the like.
Targeting a governor with national ambitions does no good and it won’t do any good with Kasich, frankly.
When we as a people start treating this oppressive, duplicitous Federal Government as what it is, pariahs, all the better.
Maybe in the air and water? I don’t understand it.
I imagine ICE's thinking is this (don't kill the messenger) --
Sneaking across the border is undoubtedly a criminal offense. However, unlawful presence is not. If police come across an illegal immigrant, they have no proof of the unlawful entry (people can be illegal immigrants but not have committed unlawful entry).
If it were up to Kasich, Ohio would be a Sanctuary State.

I have seen or heard anything about where he got the gun yet.
That’s a good point, but it’s enough to piss off the Good Humor Man...

The judge did his job.
Thanks for link.
