Thread: PA: Drunken Illegal Alien Charged with Ramming Death, Update

Man charged in ramming death at bar

Authorities filed murder charges today against a 35-year-old man, saying he exacted revenge against a takeout clerk who had escorted him out of a Bensalem bar last night by killing him in the parking lot a few minutes later with a pickup truck.

Jose Maldonado-Luzuriaga was sent to the Bucks County prison on homicide and related charges this morning after failing to post $3 million bail in the death of William Sullo III of Philadelphia, said First Assistant District Attorney David Zellis.

Maldonado-Luzuriaga had been drinking heavily before he set foot into Salute Restaurant Bar on Knights Road around 10:22 last night, authorities allege in investigative documents released today.

So bartenders refused to serve him and gave him a glass of water, officials said.

A short time later one of those bartenders, with help from Sullo, removed him from the premises because they had spotted him drinking beer that had been slipped to him by a fellow patron, authorities said.

Zellis said Maldonado-Luzuriaga, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who lived up the road from the Salute bar, got into a white 2006 Ford F150, circled the lot a few times, aimed the pickup toward the front of the bar and gunned in anger toward Sullo, who stood on the curb watching.

Sullo, 30, of Philadelphia, died after being pinned against the exterior wall of the bar while the bartender-bouncer standing next to him, Carl Slaton, Jr., jumped out of harm's way just in time, authorities said.

Slaton was one of the two bartenders who originally refused to serve Maldonado-Luzuriaga. He also helped remove the man from the bar with Sullo's help, authorities said. Maldonado-Luzuriaga later told investigators that he had been angry with the two men, authorities said.

"Clearly, he was aiming the truck at both of them," Zellis said. "It's just by the grace of God that Mr. Slaton was able to get out of the way."

Zellis said Maldonado-Luzuriaga told investigators that he had been living in the United States as an illegal immigrant for five or six years but that little else was known about his background, work status or family.

He also told investigators he had drunk five Corona beers before the crash, authorities said.

After bar employees refused to serve him alcohol and their backs were turned on him, some fellow Hispanic patrons apparently gave him a drink, officials said.

A smattering of those patrons would later follow him out of the bar. They argued with him in the parking lot before he got into the truck, authorities said.

Zellis said that the job of informing federal authorities about the suspect's immigration status was being left to Bensalem police but that prosecutors would press forward with their case against Maldonado-Luzuriaga. A preliminary hearing should take place in the next 10 days, Zellis said.

"We will be in touch with the federal authorities," Zellis said, "but that's not going to deter us from fully prosecuting him according to the law."

Maldonado-Luzuriaga is charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide, reckless endangerment and causing death while being an unlicensed driver.

Investigators said the truck did not belong to the suspect.

The Philadelphia Medical Examiner's Office was conducting an autopsy today on Sullo, who was pronounced dead at Frankford Hospital in Torresdale.

Just more of those good family values..............

With every story I read, I am really beginning to believe the government and big business have declared unconditional war against We the People. What I'm waiting to see is when a family mamber of one of our illustrious OBL officials is asailed by one of these wonderful family oriented people from another country that's here illegally on our dime. I wonder how fast their [the official's] tune will change.

......I wonder if he'll be charged with a "hate crime"? This guy should be tried for cold-blooded murder and attempted murder of the second bartender. How many more victims must there be in Bucks County, PA before the Sheriff's, the local elected officials decide to be more proactive in helping to identify and deport illegal aliens? If there's ever a place that needs 287(g) it's this area. No more deaths at the hands of illegal aliens. Enough is enough.

Another innocent victim of open borders insanity compliments of a government that has declared war on the American people by placing the welfare of illegal alien criminals before the welfare of the American people for cheap illegal labor and illegal votes. We are officially a lawless, corrupt, violent and savage third world banana republic with nuclear weapons.

Zellis said Maldonado-Luzuriaga, an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who lived up the road from the Salute bar, got into a white 2006 Ford F150, circled the lot a few times, aimed the pickup toward the front of the bar and gunned in anger toward Sullo, who stood on the curb watching.

This is how illegal immigrants deal with their "anger" issues. They are known for their DRUNKENESS and dont think twice about KILLING OR MURDERING someone that gets in their way.

After bar employees refused to serve him alcohol and their backs were turned on him, some fellow Hispanic patrons apparently gave him a drink, officials said.

Those Hispanic patrons ought to be charged with accessory to murder.

"We will be in touch with the federal authorities," Zellis said, "but that's not going to deter us from fully prosecuting him according to the law."

"But we still support illegal alien protecting sanctuary policies" Zellis added.

Update: Illegal alien charged with homicide and ICE was called in.....

Homicide charges after crash

BENSALEM - After being refused drinks and escorted out of a Bensalem bar Saturday night, a 35-year-old illegal immigrant slammed a pickup truck into one of the bar's employees, pinning the employee against the building and killing him.

Jose Esteban Maldonado-Luzuriaga, an Ecuador native who authorities say has lived in the United States for five or six years, now faces homicide and related charges.

Dressed in baby blue prison garb, handcuffed and locked in leg shackles, Maldonado-Luzuriaga was arraigned at 8 a.m. Sunday and sent to Bucks County prison in lieu of $3 million bail for allegedly killing 30-year-old William Sullo III, of the Parkwood section of Philadelphia, who worked as a take-out clerk at Salute Restaurant Bar at 2564 Knights Road.

Police said the man was already intoxicated when he entered Salute Saturday night and was refused service; instead, a bartender gave him a glass of water.

Shortly after, one bartender noticed that a friend of the alleged murderer had slipped him a beer. Sullo and another worker, Carl Slaton Jr., escorted Maldonado-Luzuriaga out of the bar, court documents say.

Once outside, Maldonado-Luzuriaga, who lives in the nearby Creekside Apartments, got into an argument with other patrons before he got into his employer's white 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck and circled around the parking lot about three times, police said.

At about 10:20 p.m., investigators said he stopped his truck 45 feet from the front of the bar, revved the engine and sped towards Sullo and Slaton, who were standing out front. The truck jumped over the curb and smashed into Sullo, pinning him between the truck and the establishment's exterior wall. Slaton was able to jump out of the way and barely missed getting hit. Slaton then restrained the driver on the curb near the truck, officials said.

“He intentionally tried to kill two of them, the two people who escorted him out of the bar,â€

"he got into his employer's white 2006 Ford F-150 pickup truck "

The murdered man's family should go after the Illegal alien employer and ICE, and the IRS also.
