A man illegally in the U.S. is facing an open murder charge in the death of a young Michigan woman whose body was found on a highway.
Ruby Garcia’s body was found with gunshot wounds on the side of highway U.S. 131 in downtown Grand Rapids last week. Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 25, has been charged with the murder of the 25-year-old in what Michigan State Police think may have been a car-jacking.
The suspect is in custody and awaiting arraignment but in a post on Facebook over the weekend, the victim’s sister had identified him saying, “He is currently a primary suspect possibly on the run to Mexico he is from Durango and Puebla.”
Ruby Garcia (25) was mųrdered on Friday in Michigan and her body was left on the roadside of US-131.

Though Michigan State Police would not release any information about Ortiz-Vite, they did confirm he has been apprehended.
“Kent County Jail records show Ortiz-Vite was booked in on March 24, and he’s expected to be arraigned within 48 hours – likely late Monday or Tuesday, officials said,” The Midwesterner reported.
“Ortiz-Vite faces one count each of homicide/open murder, carjacking, felony firearm, illegally carrying a concealed weapon, operating while intoxicated, and driving on a suspended or revoked license, records show,” according to the outlet.

The victim’s sister did not give the news outlet additional details but alleged the suspect was in the U.S. illegally.
“I prefer not to give out information on their relationship,” Mavi Garcia told The Midwesterner. “He is currently in custody that’s all we know as of right now and he is/was here illegally.”
Ruby Garcia was “a great person all around,” her sister said in tribute.
“She would brighten up the room with her beautiful smile and laugh,” Garcia told The Midwesterner. “She loved to travel, was dedicated to her work and enjoyed being with her family on her free time.”
The family set up a GoFundMe page that has raised just over $14,000 for her funeral expenses.
“She was a great daughter, sister, aunt and friend,” Garcia said.
“She will be remembered as being full of life and laughter, those who were around her would know she was silly and made everyone laugh,” she added: “Her loss has impacted the lives of many people. Her life was taken too soon. She deserved to live life, travel the world, have kids and follow her dreams.”
In a post on Facebook, Garcia expressed thanks for the support.
“I just want to say take care of your loved ones. Please be united more as a family even when your world is falling. The only ones that are truly going to be there are your family members,” she wrote. “Hope you guys tell your siblings and parents you love them.”
Billionaire Elon Musk was among the many social media responses that erupted over the tragic news and the fact that Biden administration border policies have claimed another innocent victim.
This needs to stop!

#BidensBorderBloodbath claimed another innocent life . How many more people have to die before the Democrats decide to do something about our nonexistent border?

Ruby Garcia would be alive today if Joe Biden had secured the border instead of inviting illegals to enter and ravage our country and people.
Will @JoeBiden ever show compassion for any of the American citizens he’s gotten kįlled with his open border policies?
Of course not.

Every rape, robbery and murder of an American citizen committed by an illegal is completely unnecessary and a direct result of the Biden Administration deliberately subverting our laws to increase illegal immigration.
