The motorist in Indiana who is accused of killing a Colts linebacker and another man while driving under the influence, is a Mexican immigrant facing deportation.

According to the police, the driver, Alex Gonsales, drove onto the emergency shoulder of I-70 at 4 a.m. Sunday morning, and slammed into a ride-share vehicle. The impact of the collision killed Colts LB Edwin Jackson and 54-year old Jeffrey Monroe.

Gonsales was arrested and later booked at Marion County Jail. The booking documents show that Gonsales is a Mexican immigrant who is susceptible to deportation.

Though, the booking documents do not make clear whether Gonsales is in the U.S. illegally. However, even if Gonsales’ status is legal, such as with a legal permanent resident status, he still would be subject to deportation if convicted of a felonious/serious criminal act.

According to Sgt. John Perrine of the Indiana State Police, “It is believed Gonsales was intoxicated and was driving without a license. He was transported to the Marion County Jail, the result of the test for intoxication is pending.”

Police reports state that Gonsales tried to flee the scene, had no license, and had a blood-alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit.

The Indianapolis Star reports that Mr. Monroe was on the scene, because he pulled over to assist Mr. Jackson.

Authorities try to deport Alex Cabrera Gonsales

The man accused of killing an NFL player and another man in a DUI-related crash Sunday morning is a Mexican immigrant whom authorities are trying to deport, according to charging documents.

Police say 37-year-old Alex Cabrera Gonsales drove a black Ford F-150 pickup truck onto the emergency shoulder along Interstate 70 around 4 a.m. Sunday, plowed into a ride-share vehicle, and killed Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson and 54-year-old Jeffrey Monroe of Avon.

Booking documents from the Marion County Jail, which can be searched for at http://inmateinfo.indy.gov/IML and found at case number 1804804, show that Mr. Cabrera Gonsales is an immigrant from Mexico who is subject to deportation.

Mr. Cabrera Gonsales didn’t have a driver’s license, tried to flee the scene of the accident and had a blood-alcohol level of at least .15 (nearly twice the legal limit), authorities said.

The booking document, which specifies that Mr. Cabrera Gonsales has a detainer request on him, does not say whether was in the U.S. illegally or as a legal permanent resident who can still be deported for a serious crime.

“It is believed Gonsales was intoxicated and was driving without a license,” Sgt. John Perrine of the Indiana State Police said in a statement. “He was transported to the Marion County Jail, the result of the test for intoxication is pending.”

Police believe, according to reports first cited in the Indianapolis Star, that Mr. Monroe had pulled over to assist an ill Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Jackson, nicknamed “Pound Cake,” played for the Colts for the past two seasons, winning his roster spot after signing onto the practice squad. His 2017 year was shortened by injury.

“Edwin Jackson always brought a smile to our locker room and the community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time. We will miss him greatly,” the Colts tweeted on their official account.

The account also retweeted numerous players and coaches and members of the Indianapolis community expressing shock and giving praise to Mr. Jackson.
Although he played football in high school in Atlanta and was also a state-finalist wrestler, Mr. Jackson did not get a football scholarship and first made it onto the football team at Georgia Southern University as a walk-on player.

OMG, this is so sad! I had heard the hit and run driver was likely drunk. Should have known he was also likely illegal!! I know we have drunk American citizen drivers who do stupid stuff, but we do NOT need additional stupid drivers who are not even here legally!!

I just knew he would be an illegal to boot. Disgusting. Tragic. It has to stop. These irresponsible animals have to be deported. All of them, now.

They all think they are above the law now.

Each and every illegal alien needs to be deported and that includes DACA!

DACA is illegal and they should not get a free pass to stay. Let work permits expire and they MUST leave our country and get in line like everybody else. They are not a "special" group of people over all others!

Trump can’t ignore new details about man who allegedly killed NFL player

Regardless of one’s feelings about President Donald Trump, he has made his agenda very clear.

It primarily boils down to two major points: fixing the economy and securing the nation’s borders.

The second point has drawn some of the sharpest criticism levied at Trump, with many decreeing his actions as racist and xenophobic.

In fairness, as is often quoted, a nation without borders is no nation at all.
That being said, another issue Trump has recently taken up has been with the NFL.

Trump has crusaded against the NFL and its players who have decided to kneel during the anthem.
That has drawn tremendous backlash from the NFL, with players, coaches and owners rebuking the president’s narrative.
Despite that, Trump still found time to congratulate the Philadelphia Eagles on a Super Bowl win.

But now, Trump’s national security directive and his budding feud with the NFL have come to an interesting intersection.
The NFL fraternity mourned the loss of Indianapolis Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson, 26, who was one of two men struck and killed by a drunk driver on Sunday.

Jackson and his Uber driver, Jeffrey Monroe, pulled over to the side of the highway because Jackson will getting sick. That’s when a black Ford pickup truck collided with the two men.
The man who was allegedly driving the pickup was caught after initially trying to flee on foot. He gave the police an alias name, Alex Cabrera Gonsales.

The driver’s real name turned out to be Manuel Orrego-Savala. He is an illegal alien from Guatemala.

“Orrego-Savala is in the United States illegally and has previously been deported on two occasions, in 2007 and again in 2009,” Sgt. John Perrine said in a statement via the Indianapolis Star. “State police investigators are working with U.S. Federal Immigration Officials and they have placed a hold on Orrego-Savala.”

Orrego-Savala drew the ire of Rep. Todd Rokita of Indiana.

Orrego-Savala is currently being held in the Marion County jail.
While Trump has not commented on the incident, it will be fascinating to see if he does. By all accounts, Jackson was a beloved teammate who was even nicknamed “Pound Cake” by his peers.
If Trump and the NFL were to ever find common ground on a controversial topic, it seems far more likely that it’ll involve Jackson’s death than anyone kneeling for the anthem.
