The U.S. Department of Homeland Security put detainers on all six suspects, so if any of them are released prior to their trial, they’ll be placed in Homeland Security’s custody.
For victims’ families, navigating the legal landscape may require support from immigration law specialists and criminal defense attorneys to fully understand custody protocols.
And cross-jurisdictional procedures. Sheriff Barry Faile said in a statement, “This shooting defies any sense of decency in a civilized society. Ms. Thompson was going about.
Her business on a Friday night, not bothering anyone. All of a sudden these six men and boys, out to get something for nothing from someone.
They did not know and had no business bothering, pulled alongside her car, and Torres-Chirinos opened fire, killing Ms. Thompson.”
He added, “There’s no place in our society for acts like this or the people who commit them, and my hope is these six are never again among us.” Families affected by this kind of trauma may also.
Require grief counseling, trauma-informed care, and emergency psychiatric evaluations, which are increasingly supported by wellness plans and comprehensive behavioral health coverage.
