On Monday, a confirmed MS-13 member who had previously been deported from the United States seven different times reportedly led police on a manhunt in Colony Ridge, the Texas development that’s become infamous for attracting illegal aliens, after he allegedly stabbed and killed a man.

Luis Miguel Perez, 34, was ultimately captured in Colony Ridge after a seven-hour pursuit, according to Bluebonnet News. Perez allegedly stabbed and killed an unidentified man inside the development after a verbal altercation turned physical. The successful search came the same day Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced that the Texas Department of Public Safety was working with border czar Tom Homan and the Department of Homeland Security to target criminals and illegal aliens inside Colony Ridge.

The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office deployed drones and K-9 units during the search. Perez was finally caught after he approached a woman’s home and asked her for water and a ride. The woman gave him water and Gatorade before suggesting that he go to the home of a neighbor who spoke Spanish.

She then reported him to authorities, who found Perez at the neighbor’s home. The family was safely evacuated, and law enforcement successfully captured the illegal alien.

Colony Ridge is a 60-square-mile development located just north of Houston. The Daily Wire has reported that it implements financial and marketing schemes to systematically attract illegal aliens. The development lures illegal alien buyers by advertising that they do not need to provide a social security number as it encourages them to “own land in the United States.”

Perez is far from the only criminal illegal alien that has been caught in Colony Ridge, including multiple murder suspects wanted by the International Police, a Guatemalan human smuggler tied to a “mass casualty event,” and most recently, a previously deported illegal alien caught with 344 pounds of meth inside his trailer.

Another illegal alien recently admitted to murdering a woman in Colony Ridge after luring her away from her workplace under false premises. He also worked alongside two individuals whose immigration status is unknown.

The development now faces lawsuits from the Department of Justice and the Texas Attorney General and an investigation from the Environmental Protection Agency.
