A Texas sheriff’s deputy who miraculously survived a 30-foot tumble off a bridge while helping crash victims in 2014 was recently killed under eerily similar circumstances by an illegal alien suspect who was on the loose for weeks, authorities say.
On Feb. 21, Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Deputy Kenneth Lewis was off-duty but in uniform when he stopped to assist motorists involved a two-car collision on Interstate 10 near Houston, Fox 26 reported at the time.
While rendering aid, Lewis was struck by a Honda sedan, the driver of which fled the scene.
Lewis, 51, fought for his life for two days but ultimately succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased on Feb. 23.
The suspect remained at-large for three weeks until he was captured at his residence on Mar. 14 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after an anonymous tip was submitted to the FBI.
Dennis Arguello-Acosta, a criminal illegal alien of undisclosed origin, is now in ICE custody amid an ongoing investigation.
“Deputy Kenneth Lewis served his community honorably as a law enforcement officer—and he would still be with us today if it were not for this criminal illegal alien who should’ve never been in our country in the first place,” Department of Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated in a press release.
“ICE has arrested Arguello-Acosta to ensure that he is not free to roam on our streets and threaten public safety.”
In 2014, Deputy Lewis found himself in a similar situation while serving as an officer in the Missouri City Police Department.
Lewis was forced to jump off a bridge to avoid an incoming drunk driver while assisting victims of a crash.
He survived the 30-foot fall and returned to law enforcement after a lengthy recovery.
“A superhero is someone that thinks of others before themselves,” said Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan. “And that’s what Deputy Lewis was doing. He took it upon himself to go back on duty to try to help that individual.”
Lewis was the father of three children — twin 17-year-old sons and a 15-year-old daughter.
Illegal alien drivers continue to destroy American lives on a near-daily basis.
