A 41-hour manhunt ended Friday with the arrest of a man suspected of gunning down his cousins wife in her east Rogers home. Sergio Morales-Carrera, 23, was arrested in a vehicle in Fayetteville about 2: 10 p. m. by members of the Rogers Police Departments criminal investigation division, said Lt. Mike Johnson, department spokesman. Morales-Carrera was arrested without incident, Johnson said. He was taken to the Rogers jail and later to the Benton County jail, Johnson said. A bond hearing is scheduled for 9 a. m. Monday, he said.Two other men also were arrested on charges of hindering apprehension: Ramiro Ortiz-Hinojo, 27, and Miguel Ortiz-Hinojo, 25.
All three are suspected of being ILLEGAL ALIENS and will be processed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a news release. Veronica Robles, a 37-yearold mother of five, was shot about 9 p. m. Wednesday. Robles husband, Jose Carrera, is Morales-Carreras cousin. Investigators followed leads to find Morales-Carrera and another person in a vehicle at 3110 Ika Lane in Fayetteville, Johnson said. He didnt say if that person was one of the men arrested for hindering apprehension. A handgun was found, but Johnson didnt have information on the weapon. It will be sent to the state Crime Laboratory in Little Rock, he said. Police had warned the public Thursday that Morales-Carrera was considered armed and dangerous because he was believed to have fled the scene of the shooting with a. 45-caliber handgun. Police responded to a 911 call from Robles 15-year-old daughter from 2606 Graham Drive. The daughter collapsed in the front yard, and the children were screaming, He killed our mother ! Stop him ! according to a neighbor. The neighbor said Thursday that she saw Morales-Carrera arrive at the home in a pickup and heard an argument inside. She watched as Morales-Carrera retrieved a gun from the pickup. She heard three shots and saw Morales-Carrera leave the house and drive away. The truck was found Thursday morning at Tesoro Beach restaurant at 701 S. Thompson St. in Springdale.
Rogers police Capt. Ron Largent said Friday that investigators are working to determine where Morales-Carrera went between the restaurant and his arrest. Largent said that within hours of the 911 call, agencies in nine states had been notified to keep an eye out for Morales-Carrera. Rogers detectives also teamed with other agencies including Fayetteville police, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U. S. Marshals Service. Largent, speaking before Morales-Carreras arrest, said making an arrest is difficult if the suspect isnt caught in the first 48 hours after a crime. But we might have the guy caught in an hour, he said. About two hours after Largent spoke, Morales-Carrera was in custody, about 41 hours after the shooting. The Marshals Service became involved Friday, said Dick OConnell, marshal for the Western District of Arkansas. OConnell said enforcement agencies at the U. S.-Mexico and U. S.-Canada borders were on alert. Last year, the Marshals Service helped track a fugitive from Washington County to Honduras, said Sgt. Oscar Henson of the Washington County sheriffs office. Jerry D. Sykes was arrested in September in Honduras after six months on the lam. Sykes awaits trial in the March 2007 suffocation death of his girlfriend, Sandra Stokes. If it wasnt for [the U. S. marshals ], we probably wouldnt have got him back, Henson said.

Thank you, Juan McCain!
I saw a bumper sticker today here in Washington state (of all places!) that said “9,000 Americans a year are murdered by illegal aliens”. I would hazard a guess that the true number is higher.
Arkansas Ping!
Immigration Ping!
In the past, freeper dane would be here to post a legal defense for the illegal alien’s actions...

Someone murdered an Illegal alien in Arkansas?
Well D—n! That is not far from here and one of my co-workers (American) lives near the area!

A few conservative sites claim to have debunked that number. The gist of the argument was that it was a numerical impossibility. There is no real way of knowing because the truth is that this Government does not want us to know. I can’t think of one good reason that illegal-alien crime stats are not kept.
For the record, I am closer to agreeing with you and do not buy the mathematical impossibility theory. The Government doesn’t want we angry racist Americans to rise up clinging to our guns and hating immigrants and demand that they enforce the law.
Agreed
You should thank the other “dope from Hope”. The Huckster is also responsible for this mess.

Morales-Carrera did not turn himself in, and police had to pull him from a vehicle at gunpoint.
Morales-Carrera, who is an illegal alien from Mexico, according to court documents.
Saxton said Morales-Carrera has been in the country (ILLEGALY) for six years and has family in the area.
Robles’ (gunshot victim) 19-year-old son - Alex Rivera
Rivera and his sister - Mistika Rivera - told police Morales-Carrera had been living at the home for less than a month and that he is their father’s cousin.
Police also arrested Romero Ortiz at the scene.
During the investigation, police learned Ortiz was harboring and assisting Morales-Carrera.
A HOUSE FULL OF ILLEGALS! As if the police didn’t already know that!
