  1. “Authorities are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the suspect’s identification and arrest.”

    ….and they’ll spend another $15,000 deporting him to the safety of Mexico where he’ll never face justice, and can find himself a new name to re-enter America with.

    1. I doubt that Meechiael Khalil Criner will be deported to Mexico.

      “Meechaiel Criner (mih-kah-EEL’ KRY’-nur) has been arrested in UT – Austin freshman dance major Haruka Weiser’s death, according to a press conference by the Austin Police Department. He has been identified as a 17-year-old black male who is homeless in the area.”

      1. Meechiael Khalil Criner wasn’t named in this article, and I assume wetback until l know otherwise. (it’s always a good bet)
