(WSB Radio) -- Police have arrested a 15-year-old Mexican national in the hit-and-run death of a 19-year-old woman.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports an Athens-Clarke County police officer spotted a pickup truck believed to have been involved in last Saturday's incident while on patrol Friday.
Nayasheika Cooper was killed while walking with her three-year-old son along Commerce Road. The boy survived.
Police say the male teen has been charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, felony hit-and-run, DUI, underage consumption of alcohol and driving without a license.
No word yet on whether the teen will be charged as an adult or as a juvenile.
What others are saying
- Let's not be stupidThis is tragic, however, just because he is "illegal" does not make ALL illegals criminals Ok idiots?
- More Americans have died at the hands of invading aliens than from all Islamic terrorists combined.
But, it is the commoners dying, being harmed in so many ways so our elite class does not care. - More of the wonderful "latino" culture. How tragic
- Illegal alien hit and run killingNote how WSB didn't mention in the headline "Illegal Alien Kills American Woman In Hit And Run". You had to read the story to find out it's an American citizen the skank killed.
- you meanYou mean the largest superpower on earth, after 911 and the trillion dollar Dept. of Homeland Security budget,with any asset at their fingertips cannot stop tens of millions of uneducated illegals from flooding the Mexican border?I guess they want to play hide-n-seek,ring-around-the-rosy on the border while Americans are being killed.
- Police say the male teen has been charged with first-degree vehicular homicide, felony hit-and-run, DUI, underage consumption of alcohol and driving without a license. You forgot breaking and entering, as in sneaking into the US without permissions. I think hanging will suffice!
- DUI Mexican...Too bad he isn't old enough to stand trial as an adult. If so, I'd vote for the death penalty. Something has got to stop this epidemic of drunken illegals committing vehicular homicides.
- They are killing no less than 12 Americans every day and our government does nothing about it. Call the White house and ask Bush what he plans on doing about it and ask who will take care of this little boy. Bush loves to talk about the Mexican family and how we need to keep them together. I wonder why..so they can kill more Americans?
- ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS NOW!!!Each year, OVER 3000 US citizens are killed by illegals. These people would still be alive--if our government and treasonous politicians would have enforced our immigration laws!!

http://www.americanpatrol.com - MexisI was almost hit by a stupid dirt peasent and her load of illegal alien larva (5 kids). Her back tire was almost flat as she cruzed down the freeway, oblivious to the danger. I pulled up on her side and motioned for her to pull over , she ignored my plea and seconds later the tire blew and she spun out of control across three lanes. Unbelivably the illegal criminal missed us all. These people dont know indoor plumbing much less cars. They have got to go ...!!!
- AmnestyToo bad he couldn't have waited until next year to murder and American. Both McCain and Obama would have given him amnesty and he could have stayed after doing his time in prison.
- Glad they got'em, now lets get the rest of them.Throw him under the jail. Then go run the rest of the illegals out of here on rails.... regardless of the cost. If we didn't have softie liberals amongst us (and in government), and if we gave up our concern of "offending others", we would greatly reduce these problems. And if you don't agree, go talk to the relatives of the victim that was hit by this loser. The need of the many out weigh the need of the few. We've had about enough of this crap.
- teen hit and runim sorry, but we need to get a grip in the usa on who is here and who belongs here this is not the american dream.
- Jail then deportation for allI hope the father is also charged as accessory for allowing the illegal teen to drive! Jail and then deportation for the whole illegal family!
So much for family values! - 15 yr.old charged in hit and runThe Mexican road kill continues.Full scale invasion still in progress do not resist diversity is wonderful get used to it Amigo.Viva El Mehico.
- Gee! I thought all the Mexicans were just here working hard, supporting their families and paying taxes.
