Heat wave provides opportunity for illegal alien rapist

The temperature hit 94° on June 8 in Rhode Island, bringing crowds to the beaches and an illegal alien rapist to a suburban shopping center. The illegal had just been fired from his job at a Texas Roadhouse restaurant a half mile away.

The victim, a 30-year-old woman, sat in the passenger seat of an unlocked vehicle, waiting for a shopper. The ignition was on to keep the air conditioning running.

The illegal jumped into the driver’s seat, showed the victim his knife, and robbed her. Then he drove to a park about 10 miles away and raped her twice.

The rapist fled. The victim quickly identified a photo police captured from a supermarket entrance at the shopping center. By Tuesday night, they had an name, that is, one of the names he used. On Thursday, he was arrested.

Marco Riz, 27, the rapist, had given police several aliases, but they were able to determine his true identity. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed that Riz is a fugitive who was ordered deported. He had defied the order and disappeared.

Riz should already have been deported to Guatemala. He is being held for arraignment on Monday, and will be turned over to ICE.
