DWI suspect charged with killing officer in accident

A man is accused of driving drunk and causing a crash that killed a St. Louis police officer on Sunday. Police say Officer David Lee was killed after responding to a one-vehicle crash. Lee was taken to the hospital and died while in surgery.

The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department identified Ramon A. Chavez-Rodriguez as the suspect driving at least 71 miles per hour before the crash. The speed limit was 55 miles per hour. Lee was 44-years-old. Court documents show Chavez-Rodriguez "does not have legal status in the United States" and was driving without a license, according to officials.

There should be NO bond.

He IS a flight risk.

He DOES pose a DANGER to the community.

* DON’T release him to kill someone else.

The second officer said that the perpetrator's legal status was irrelevant are you kidding me that illegal alien should not have been in the country!!!🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Disgraceful !!! Sure enough they will let him off free and deport him back .. They not going to charge him because his immigration trail is in front of this whole incident so they will deport him back without jail time.
