<p>An illegal alien and his two accomplices admitted that they killed a Houston woman in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colony-ridge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colony Ridge</a> development, a sprawling development notorious for attracting illegal aliens through potentially fraudulent marketing and financial schemes.</p>
<p>The three defendants, Kevin Geovanny Rivera-Ortiz, Katherine Alvarez-Flores, and Joel Garcia-Martinez, <a href="https://bluebonnetnews.com/2025/01/24/three-sentenced-in-violent-murder-of-houston-woman-lured-from-her-job-body-dumped-in-colony-ridge/">pled guilty</a> to killing Emily Patricia Rodriguez after luring her away from her workplace. The three accepted a plea deal and each will serve 50-year sentences.</p>
<p>Rivera-Ortiz has been identified as an illegal alien, while the immigration status of the two other defendants remains unknown. Rivera-Ortiz and Alvarez-Flores both shot the woman while Garcia-Martinez acted as their driver.</p>
<p>The three lured Rodriguez away from her place of work, Niko Niko’s Restaurant in Houston, saying that they would socialize before taking her to Colony Ridge.</p>
<p>Liberty County District Attorney said that a motive for the killing is not yet known, however, it may be gang related. Illegal alien Rivera-Ortiz was allegedly the ex-boyfriend of the victim.</p>
<p>The case is one of many crimes connected to the Colony Ridge development, which systematically attracted illegal aliens via a marketing campaign urging buyers to “own land in the United States.”</p>

<p>The Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the Department of Justice recently carried out a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/guatemalan-human-smuggler-arrested-for-mass-casualty-event-hid-out-in-colony-ridge">joint operation</a> that led to the arrest of an illegal alien smuggler who was hiding out in Colony Ridge and was involved in a “mass casualty event” when a smuggling operation went awry and caused deaths of more than 50 people.</p>

<p>The illegal alien smuggler had four properties at Colony Ridge, with his purchases taking place between 2019 and late 2024.</p>
<p>Two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-arrest-second-illegal-immigrant-murder-suspect-living-in-colony-ridge">illegal alien murder suspects</a> who lived in Colony Ridge were also arrested earlier this year. One of the men, described by authorities as a “fugitive murder suspect wanted by Interpol,” had already been deported from the United States twice before establishing a residence in Colony Ridge.</p>
<p>Those two arrests came after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/crime-at-colony-ridge-teen-abducted-in-heavily-scrutinized-texas-development-two-suspects-on-the-run">teen was allegedly abducted at gunpoint inside</a> the development and was shot at as he fled his captors.</p>
