The weak border policies from previous Democrat regimes continue to have deadly consequences for innocent American citizens.

As the Springfield Daily Citizen reported, 18-year-old Yefry Archaga was taken into custody on Tuesday in Webb City, Missouri, and charged with first-degree murder after killing a 15-year-old teenager named Miles Young last month.

Archaga is Honduran. He is listed in jail records with an active immigration detainer (Hold for ICE). He is reportedly originally from Honduras.

Archaga also reportedly has ties to gangs in the area.

Another suspect, 18-year-old Praize King, was previously arrested and charged with first-degree murder as well.

According to Ozarks First, a juvenile suspect arrived at a Springfield residence on March 12 with Archaga, two juvenile witnesses, and another underage suspect to discuss how to lure Young into a trap. The juvenile suspect believed Young was responsible for the victim’s death in a homicide case last year.

Then, the group put their plan into motion that day.

Ozarks First reported:

The juvenile allegedly met up with Archaga, two juvenile witnesses, and an adult suspect before meeting with Young, driving around Springfield. The young suspect in the statement reportedly discussed “setting up” Young, later arriving at an apartment to retrieve a second vehicle.

Archaga sat in the second vehicle as the suspect drove him and the two witnesses, as the juvenile suspect drove the other vehicle, described as a black Mercedes, which was planned to pick up Young.

When the juvenile suspect arrived at the residence, Young was with another juvenile witness, while speaking on the phone with another juvenile witness. The two witnesses reportedly told Young not to go with the juvenile suspect, thinking it was a “set up,” due to the suspect not liking Young.

The witnesses reported to law enforcement that the juvenile suspect blamed Young for the death of a victim in a 2025 homicide case.

The juvenile suspect then drove Young toward West Maplewood Street and then stopped while the adult suspect blocked the road.

Young fled the vehicle in panic and was chased by Archaga, who was wearing a ski mask and carrying a Glock-style pistol. Young was then shot multiple times and fell to the ground.

Young reportedly begged for his life, saying, “I just don’t wanna die.” Archaga then fired the fatal shot.

Greene County deputies and Emergency Medical Services rushed to the scene and tried to save Young’s life before taking him to Cox South Hospital. The boy was later pronounced dead from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

Archaga is currently in the Greene County Jail and is being held without bond.
