Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has lodged a detainer for an illegal immigrant accused of murdering a 15-year-old Missouri boy who authorities say begged for his life before being killed.

Honduran national Yefrey Achaga-Elvir, along with other suspects, allegedly lured Miles Young into believing he was meeting a girl. According to a prosecutor in the case, Achaga-Elvir blocked Young’s vehicle and then chased him on foot before allegedly shooting him. DHS said Young’s final words were “I just don’t want to die.”



"Miles Young was lured to his death believing he was going to meet a girl. Instead, he was ambushed and killed in cold blood by this illegal alien who went on to brag about the murder," said acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This animal was released into our country by the Obama administration. ICE lodged an arrest detainer requesting Missouri not release this depraved killer from jail into American neighborhoods.”

DHS also cited a probable cause affidavit alleging that Archaga-Elvir made a "braggadocios" phone call over the killing.

Authorities said Archaga-Elvir is an illegal immigrant who was previously arrested in Texas as an unaccompanied minor in 2015. He was released by the Obama administration.

Missouri Senator Josh Hawley commented on the arrest and ICE detainer, telling Fox News that the suspect should not have “been in Missouri in the first place.”

"A child in my home state of Missouri was ambushed and murdered by an illegal alien," Hawley said. "Miles Young begged for his life. The criminal never should have been in Missouri in the first place."

"He must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and all criminal illegal aliens must be deported so this tragedy never happens again," Hawley added.

Following Young’s death, a fundraising page was created to help the family with their loss.

"Miles was a compassionate, loving, and kind 15-year-old who brought light to everyone around him," the family wrote. "He was a big brother, a son, a grandson, and a friend… full of life and always showed care for others."

"No parent should ever have to outlive and bury their child," they added.
