A local [Albuquerque, New Mexico] woman is dealing with the unthinkable after losing her teenage son to an alleged hit-and-run drunk driver. Her grief is real, and so is the fight to get the man accused of killing her son back behind bars.
"He was almost home – a hundred yards," said Penny Brown-Meira, Jonathan Brown's mother, of just how close her son was to being home when his life ended.
He never made it home. Jonathan was killed when a car swerved off Unser Road and knocked him off his skateboard. He was riding in the bike lane – exactly where he was supposed to be.
Jonathan had turned 19 just three days before his death on December 30. He wanted to be a doctor.
Police say 47-year-old Luis Montiel drove away after hitting Jonathan. They found Montiel about a mile and a half away passed out in his car – so loaded that police said he couldn't even stand up.
Police charged Montiel with vehicular homicide and DWI. Montiel allegedly told officers he was on hydrocodone and a seizure drug.
He posted bail and never showed up for court.
Penny says she can't understand why he didn't have electronic monitoring.
"He just basically killed my baby, and now he's out on the loose and no one knows where he is," she said. "I want him to turn himself in. Someone – anyone – tell us where he is so I can get justice for my baby."
If you know Montiel's whereabouts, call 242-COPS and help a grieving mother find justice for her child.
he probably self-deported.
How much was the bail?
We hust had one (a female) do that here in NJ; escaped to Brazil, I believe.
Every member of Congress should be arrested as an accomplice to murder. Unless and until that happens, citizens will continue to be murdered by illegal aliens.
Can one Senator ask the prospective AG what she thinks about this? Rhetorical question, since they are all complicit.
There are thousands of American families whose loved ones have been injured or killed by illegal aliens, but the numbers are buried by the political-media conspiracy. There should be a “March for Justice for Victms of Illegals” in Washington DC to spotlight this tremendous toll of suffering. Their families should not remain silent, because that means illegals can continue to rape or kill and never go to jail.
Correct, but our gov’t loves lawless illegals more (much more) than it’s own citizens.
Our gov’t is complicit in the murders & rapes that illegal aliens commit. There are very valid reasons that nations have build big walls in the past (and now) to keep our vermin. We should have done this 70 years ago.
Congress is not the issue...... the blame is one man, the treacherous black tyrant that has chosen to ignore all law related foreigners on American soil
Until that man is gone or rendered powerless, there is no hope of change
That’s incredible that he even got bail.
Not hard to figure out - Mexico, but he'll likely come back when things cool off. Best bet might be to let publicity die down and sit quietly for a couple of years, and then either stir things up, or he'll mess up again and get arrested on other charges.
Why would he self deport when he can steal an identity and do it again—according to the law as written by obama?
Act of love.
I’ve read and re-read the article and, while I suppose one could infer that Montiel is an illegal, it is nowhere specified. What did I miss?
She should send a bit of his ashes to every congressman, senator, the white house, the justice department and the supreme court....taking a lesson from Judges in which the Levite laid the blood guilt of his dead concubine upon the whole of Israel.
He has a new fake name and ID and is 3 states away by now.
