Sunday morning, the St. Louis community was struck with grief and anger as Officer David Lee, an 18-year veteran of the St. Louis Police Department, was killed in the line of duty after stopping to assist a motorist on Interstate 70.
The tragic incident, which occurred around 8:30 AM, is now being spotlighted not only for the loss of a dedicated officer but also for the deepening crisis surrounding illegal immigration and soft-on-crime policies championed by the left.
Officer Lee was tending to traffic safety, rummaging through his vehicle’s trunk for cones to protect motorists, when a speeding SUV driven by 24-year-old Ramon A. Chavez-Rodriguez struck his vehicle from behind, according to FOX2Now.
Chavez-Rodriguez, an illegal immigrant with a disturbing criminal history, was reportedly intoxicated at the time of the crash. His blood alcohol level, taken two hours after the fatal crash, was revealed to be .10—well above the legal limit.
