Baby killed after illegal immigrant allegedly strikes family at grocery store parking lot

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

A grocery lot. A baby carriage. A driver who never held a license.

Summary

  • Fox News reports a 9-month-old boy was pronounced dead at Jersey Shore University Medical Center after Maria Cobon-Guzman, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, allegedly struck a mother and a baby carriage in a Jackson, New Jersey, kosher grocery parking lot Friday.
  • Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer charged the 20-year-old Trenton woman with manslaughter, driving without ever having a valid license in a fatal crash, and two counts of assault by auto. The mother and a 5-year-old sister were hospitalized in stable condition.
  • Ariadna Lazaro-Flores, 22, was charged with creating a substantial risk of death after allegedly letting Cobon-Guzman drive her car knowing she was unlicensed. DHS told Fox both women entered during the Biden years, and that Lazaro-Flores was removed five times in October 2023.
  • DHS urged Ocean County Jail to honor ICE detainers on both women. Local reports later said a judge ordered them held pending trial.

Commentary

A grocery clerk still wipes linoleum and watches a carriage roll past the same painted stall a working mother paid for with overtime. She did not stock formula so an unlicensed car could own the aisle.

That is the gap. Nine months old. Never licensed. Five removals in one October. The honest dad already paid the parking space. The fifth entry paid the funeral.

Ask every working mother who still buckles a kid behind a cart: if a jail will not honor the detainer, who still owns the lot?

Comments

If a driver with no license can take a 9-month-old in a grocery lot, who still owns the stall?

Never licensed. Five removals. A baby carriage in Jackson. That is not a traffic case.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stacked cones so a lot would stay a lot. Honor the detainer before the next cart.

u/rule_first · 4h

Manslaughter. No license ever. Two assault-by-auto counts. Then ICE. In that order.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied towns still treat a grocery lot as civilian ground. A fifth entry is a second war.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Cobon-Guzman, 20. Lazaro-Flores, 22. Ocean County Jail. File the five October 2023 removals.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still clock out on wet asphalt. I want the carriage to beat the sedan.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A 5-year-old should not learn what a hospital smells like because a license was optional.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Five removals in one month is not a migrant story. It is a broken gate.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed 9 months, never licensed, and five October removals. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Hold them. Honor ICE. A grocery lot is not a second chance.
