Boise 8-Year-Old Killed at Crosswalk; Driver With 2016 Deportation Order Held by ICE

The case has intensified scrutiny of immigration enforcement during an active crash investigation.

Overview

  • Officials identified the driver as Elvin Ramos-Caballero, who is in ICE custody on an outstanding federal warrant.
  • Authorities say the child, Mora Gerety, was struck at Harrison Boulevard and Ada Street on Nov. 11 and later died at a hospital.
  • The Ada County Coroner ruled the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries and listed the manner of death as an accident.
  • Court records, as reported, show Ramos-Caballero failed to appear at a 2016 immigration hearing, resulting in a deportation order.
  • Reporting differs on whether he entered the U.S. in 2015 as an unaccompanied or accompanied minor, while community members and the Boise mayor issued statements and held a vigil.
