“Although we want to make every effort possible to maintain the privacy to the victim in this particular case, I think it’s vitally important to the residents of Kankakee County to understand that this heinous act was completely avoidable based solely on the fact that this offender should not be in the country,” Sheriff Mike Downey said of the case. “I want to thank all of our deputies and investigators that have spent a great deal of time and effort working on an extremely challenging and disturbing case.”
Alvizar has been incarcerated at Jerome Combs Detention Center for the charges and had a bond hearing on Thursday before the Kankakee County Judge. The case adds to the many criminal cases that have been in the media as of late with the ongoing border crisis under the Biden-Harris administration.
