A Nation in Mourning: 18-Year-Old Ava Moore Killed by Illegal Immigrant in Jet Ski Hit-and-Run
The American dream of Ava Moore, a brilliant 18-year-old Air Force Academy recruit, ended in tragedy due to what law enforcement leaders are calling a preventable crime—committed by someone who never should have been in the country.
Moore, a standout basketball player at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School, was preparing to enter the prestigious Academy in Colorado, her sights set on becoming a four-star general. But her life was cut short when she was struck and killed in a jet ski hit-and-run while kayaking on Lake Grapevine in Texas.
The suspect, Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez, an illegal alien from Venezuela, was captured on video fleeing the scene in a vehicle, aided by other Venezuelan nationals. Another illegal alien male driver, who struck a separate vehicle while fleeing, was also arrested.
Law Enforcement Leaders Express Outrage
The death of Ava Moore has sparked nationwide outrage, particularly among members of the law enforcement community who have long warned about the deadly consequences of unchecked illegal immigration.
Joe Gamaldi, national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, did not mince words in his remarks:
“How many cases do we have to see where people who should not have been in this country in the first place end up causing the death or murdering someone else?”
“How many families have to be ripped apart? How much trauma do we have to take from people who should not be here in the first place?”
Gamaldi placed direct blame on Biden-Harris administration policies and activist judges, saying their actions have led to chaos, crime, and innocent deaths.
“They completely ignore the crime and chaos that a number of illegal immigrants bring to our communities. These are avoidable crimes,” he stressed.
Judges Under Fire for Blocking Trump-Era Immigration Measures
Gamaldi also ripped into members of the judiciary who, in his view, have weaponized the legal system against enforcement of immigration law—especially those blocking President Trump’s immigration policies.
“They’re a disgrace to this country, a disgrace to the robes they wear… All they are at this point are radical ideologues. They’re not judges—they’re a joke,” he declared.
His comments reflect a growing frustration among law enforcement officers nationwide who believe judicial activism is tying their hands and putting American lives at risk.
Conclusion: A Preventable Tragedy That Demands Action
Ava Moore’s death is more than just a tragedy—it’s a grim example of what many see as the human cost of an open border. Her life was filled with promise, potential, and patriotic ambition. And it was stolen—not by accident, but by willful policy failure and a broken immigration system.
As her family and the nation grieve, law enforcement voices are demanding answers—and justice.
Ava Moore deserved better. America deserves better.
