A suspect has been arrested in the bludgeoning death of a Pine Island man in the Pink Citrus Mobile Home Park off Stringfellow Road Christmas Day.

Antonio Resillas, 36, who officials say is an undocumented immigrant, was arrested Christmas night at approximately 10:15 p.m. and charged with second degree murder in the death of Francisco Bernal, 39, officials said.

Resillas was unable to provide investigators with a local address or phone number.

According to investigators, Resillas and Bernal were talking at Bernal's home at 113 Fifth St. when an argument broke out. Bernal was found fatally injured inside the home. At this point, it appears death was caused by blunt force trauma, officials said.

The call had come in to the Lee County Sheriff's Office at noon.

Arriving deputies and emergency workers found Bernal dead on scene with obvious signs of trauma to the body.

According to witnesses, Resillas had attacked Bernal, climbing on top of him and then striking him. Resillas then reportedly carried Bernal into his residence where he was later discovered by family members, officials said.

Following the arrest, it was discovered that Resillas was an illegal alien from Mexico and has used several aliases in the past, officials said.

As a result of this information, Resillas is considered a potential flight risk and remains in custody.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" like a good trailer park bludgeoning. I love the morals of this culture.

Both boys beaten severely in Phoenix park die

PHOENIX – The suspect in a brutal and apparently random attack of two young boys at a park will face murder charges after both victims died Friday, police said.

Edwin Pellecier and Jesse Ramirez suffered severe head injuries when they were repeatedly bludgeoned Tuesday afternoon, Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said. Seven-year-old Jesse died early Friday and his 10-year-old cousin, Edwin, was pronounced dead hours later.

Police arrested Joe Sauceda Gallegos, 36, within hours of the attack on Tuesday.

A first-degree murder charge was added after Jesse's death and a second was planned after Edwin died, Thompson said. He was charged earlier with two counts of child abuse and dangerous crimes against children. Bail was set at $1 million.

Doctors believe the boys were bludgeoned repeatedly with a baseball bat or similar object. Police say they found a bat in Gallegos' home along with clothing that appeared to be bloodstained.

"It was just a brutal, vicious attack that didn't need to happen," Thompson said.

Court records did not list an attorney for Gallegos.

Thompson said Gallegos, who lived nearby, followed the boys to the small community park and attacked them, then walked back to his home. Police don't know a motive.

Police said video from a surveillance camera mounted in front of a house near the park showed the boys walking toward the park, followed a minute later by a man carrying an object that looked like a bat. A neighborhood resident said the man looked like Gallegos.

An uncle of Gallegos, Joe Sauceda, told police he believed Gallegos had been diagnosed as a schizophrenic. The uncle also said Gallegos had told authorities about six months ago that he killed his sons in his attic, but police never found any such victims at the house. Gallegos' sons live with their mother in Colorado and are the same ages of the boys who were attacked.

You know, I can not understand how anybody can say this is OK. I don't know if Gallegos is legal or not, but when we can keep posting and posting different stories where people were beaten to death, and then when we say this is just wrong, WE are accused of hate speech. I think the entire world has gone crazy.

Another HATE crime committed by an illegal alien...add this to your non existant HATE crime list against American citizens LaRaza (the race), you racist piece of crap group!

Pine Island used to be what Gulf of Mexico islands were years ago: community of fishermen, rare tropical fruit farms and palmtree plantations. This little island began to flourish on the greed of developers flowing out from Cape Coral, but it seems the farmers that did not sell needed lots of illegal labor to help pay their ever-increasing taxes as developers kept driving up property values. The same thing happened on Captiva, Sanibel, and Fort Myers Beach just by the greed of real estate speculators. Convince me again that all these illegals are just here to work hard and embrace the American dream.
