The death of Texas teem Ava Moore, who was set to attend the Air Force Academy, was but the latest in a long trail of death and destruction at the hands of criminal illegal aliens allowed to enter into the country unabated. And in an awful but predictable omission, most of the major newscasts neglected to report this story.
ABC World News Tonight was the only newscast to air the story. Here is that report in its entirety, as aired on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025:
DAVID MUIR: Next tonight here, the 18-year-old who’d just been accepted to the Air Force Academy, killed while kayaking, hit by a jet ski. The jet ski driver then speeding away, and tonight, hear the charges. ABC’s Mireya Villarreal in Texas tonight.
VILLAREAL: Tonight, two people facing charges after a hit and run jet ski crash in Texas over Memorial Day weekend that left a beloved Air fForce cadet dead. Authorities say 18-year-old Ava Moore, a standout high school basketball player, just accepted into the U.S. Air Force Academy, was kayaking on Lake Grapevine outside Dallas Sunday night when a jet ski plowed into her from behind.
LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL: A personal watercraft, which had two females onboard, was being driven at a high rate of speed near the shoreline.
VILLAREAL: Good samaritans rushing to help.
GOOD SAMARITAN: Once she came out of the water, you know, I just had to lay her down and kind of started helping.
VILLAREAL: But the cadet could not be saved. Police say the alleged jet ski driver, 21-year-old Daikerlyn Gonzalez Gonzalez, fled the scene. She was arrested Tuesday, now charged with manslaughter. Maikel Coello Perozo, who police say wasn’t on the jet ski, also facing charges tonight. Authorities say he hit two vehicles while allegedly driving Gonzalez away from the scene. David, DHS says both of these suspects are from Venezuela. They were apprehended- arrested at the border, processed, and then released into the U.S. David.
MUIR: Mireya Villareal tonight. Mireya, thank you.
Towards the end of the report, take notice of the contortions that correspondent Mireya Villareal goes through in order to avoid saying that the arrestees were in the country illegally. In so doing, she inadvertently made clear that these illegals came into the country sometime within the last 4 years.
Villareal’s contortions notwithstanding, credit goes to ABC for including this story on World News Tonight. CBS and NBC had no time to spare on their respective newscasts.
The media continue to avoid reporting stories that shine a light on the previous administration’s disastrous border policies. In this regard, their omissions are unchanged. Joe Biden is long gone from office, but the urge to protect him remains. At least for tonight, ABC resisted that urge.
