The FBI is doing everything it can to get “justice” for Laken Riley, the college student who was murdered by a migrant in the country illegally, FBI Director Christopher Wray said at the University of Georgia on Tuesday.
Laken Riley, a student at Georgia’s Augusta University, was killed by a migrant who was illegally in the country from Venezuela last month, according to authorities.
The 22-year-old was killed while jogging in a park on the University of Georgia campus on Feb. 22.
“I want to tell you how heartbroken I am — not just for the family, friends, classmates, and staff who are grieving Laken’s loss,” Wray said. “But for Augusta University and the entire UGA community, which many members of my own family are a part of. A lot of people — students, alumni, and community members alike — see Athens as a kind of safe haven from what ails so much of the rest of the country.”
Wray went on to say that he is “saddened to see that sense of peace shattered by Laken’s murder and the subsequent arrest of a Venezuelan national who’d illegally entered the country in 2022.”
“We’re doing everything we can to help achieve justice for Laken,” Wray said.
