Very revealing social media posts of migrant suspect, 21, charged with killing Air Force cadet in jet ski crash
In an online reel, Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez, 21, can be seen modeling multiple revealing outfits and swimwear in a video posted to her Instagram account in January.
The Venezuelan migrant included a snap of herself in a blue and multi-colored print bikini-- the same two-piece she was wearing the day she crashed into and killed 18-year-old Ava Moore.
The Air Force cadet was kayaking on Grapevine Lake in the Dallas area, when authorities say a jet ski driven by Gonzalez was speeding and hit Moore.
Local cops even released a photo of her in the bikini after she fled the Memorial Day crash, although she was arrested Tuesday in Dallas after police were flooded with over 900 tips pointing them to her.
Gonzalez is now charged with second-degree felony manslaughter, and a woman who was her passenger in the watercraft is not facing any charges since she did stay at the scene, Texas Game Wardens stated Wednesday.
Another Venezuelan, Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, has also been charged for helping her escape from police and crashing into two cars in the process.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) revealed that the pair crossed into the US illegally through the southern border in either 2023 or 2024, although a spokesman for the agency declined to say whether either of them have pending asylum or Temporary Protected Status cases.
'Once the state of Texas goes through the process on the criminal charges, we'll take custody of them,' Joshua Johnson, Acting Field Director of ICE ERO in Dallas, explained during a press conference with law enforcement Wednesday.
During her time in the US, Gonzalez posted cheeky videoes of herself online, showing off her bottom in various bikinis and short shorts and underwear.
She posted under the Instagram handle @tublanquita1205.
In Spanish, 'tu blanquita' translates to 'your light-skinned one.'
Her profile includes a third video set to a song in Spanish.
The lyrics state, 'May God forgive my sins.'
'May he forgive the woman I love-- the bad moments she's had to go through because of me.'
She set the song to footage of her mouthing the lyrics and a montage of photos where she is kissing an unknown woman.
The suspect in a jet-ski crash in Dallas begged forgiveness for her sins and the woman she loved in an Instagram reel
Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez, 21, and Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, were taken into custody on Tuesday after allegedly fleeing the scene of a jet ski collision that killed 18-year-old Ava Moore
Authorities tracked down Gonzalez and Perozo to a house in Dallas' Oak Cliff neighborhood Tuesday.
The duo were hiding in the home together and had a packed suitcase when police came knocking.
Meanwhile, the victim's family planned a funeral for Moore, although the location was not released as her relatives asked for privacy.
Emergency responders found Moore unconscious with severe head trauma as bystanders and first responders attempted life-saving measures Monday.
Despite their efforts, the 18-year-old Air Force recruit was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Moore had been set to begin basic training in the fall and was remembered as a dedicated athlete and honors student.

Judge restrains Beto O'Rourke's group from sending funds to Democrats outside Texas
A Texas judge has expanded a restraining order against former congressman Beto O'Rourke and his political organization over its fundraising for Democratic state lawmakers who left Texas to prevent a legislative session on congressional redistricting. Tarrant county judge Megan Fahey, a member of the conservative Federalist Society and past president of the Fort Worth Republican Women's Club, said in a four-page order published on Saturday that O'Rourke and his political group, Powered by People, are barred from sending money out of Texas. Fahey found that 'harm is imminent to the State, and if the Court does not issue this order, the State will be irreparably injured' because 'defendants' fundraising conduct constitutes false, misleading, or deceptive acts under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act'. Fahey said that financial institutions and political fundraising platforms, including ActBlue, the main online platform for Democrats, are 'immediately restrained from removing any property or funds that belong to, or are being held for', O'Rourke or Powered by People 'from the State of Texas'. The order came in response to a complaint from Ken Paxton, the far-right Republican attorney general who is seeking to unseat Republican senator John Cornyn, and also attempting to revoke the charter of O'Rourke's group. On Saturday, O'Rourke said his group had donated more than $1m to Texas Democrats since the start of the redistricting session prompted their out-of-state walk-out. He said the group received 'more than 55,000 donations' and the money benefited the Texas legislative Black caucus, the Texas house Democratic caucus, and the Mexican American legislative caucus. Many Texas Democrats have been in Chicago under the protective wing of governor JB Pritzker since early August, each accruing fines of $500 a-day for failing to attend a session called by the Republican Texas governor, Greg Abbott, that would probably add five seats to the Republican slate in Congress after next year's midterm elections. California's governor, Gavin Newsom, has responded in kind, unveiling a plan last week to redraw voting lines in his state that could add five safe Democratic seats in Congress, if Texas proceeds. Currently, only one in five seats in the House of Representatives are considered competitive. The California plan came as Texas Democrats are reportedly preparing to make their way home to launch a new chapter in the redistricting war after a series of nationwide protests on Saturday called 'Fight the Trump Takeover National Day of Action.' 'We were playing chess and they were playing tic-tac-toe,' Texas sate representative Jolanda Jones told Austin's KVUE. 'We were able to stop them, so their numbers didn't matter. I think it was a gangster move. It was boss, and I'm proud of us.' With members of the Democratic delegation expected to attended a second special legislative session in Austin on Monday, meeting the numbers required, the Texas redistricting measure is expected to pass. Paxton celebrated the judge's decision, saying that in Texas, 'lawless actions have consequences, and Beto's finding that out the hard way.' Paxton said in a statement that O'Rourke's 'fraudulent attempt to pad the pockets of the rogue cowards abandoning Texas has been stopped' and that 'the cabal of Democrats who have colluded together to scam Texans and derail our Legislature will face the full force of the law, starting with Robert Francis O'Rourke.' O'Rourke, who ran a brief campaign for the Democratic party presidential nomination in 2020, filed his own lawsuit against Paxton earlier this month that requested a block on an investigation into his group and alleged that Paxton was engaged in a 'fishing expedition, constitutional rights be damned'. O'Rourke said at a protest in Austin on Saturday that Democrats were 'not going to bend the knee. We're going to stand and fight wherever we have to – from the state house to the court house, from Texas to California.'

Working mom sparks debate as she cries over missing child's milestone due to her job
A working mom's emotional reaction to witnessing her baby's milestone from afar has struck a chord online. Brooke Lipps, from Austin, Texas, recently went viral after she took to TikTok to open up about a heart wrenching moment that she endured at work. The 25-year-old posted a video of herself in tears as she watched her baby sit up for the first time via a baby monitor at her desk. 'Being a working mom is so much harder than I could've imagined. Missing the milestones just breaks me,' she wrote in her caption. Her video resonated widely, sparking a broader conversation about the challenges of working motherhood and the issues with parental leave policies in the United States. 'One year of paid federal maternity leave NEEDS to be the standard. I'm glad women are getting louder about this, it's a huge issue,' one user urged in the comment section. 'It's OK, hun. If you stayed home, you'd feel guilty for not earning money. There's no winning as a mom, do the best you can,' another comforted. 'Mothers deserve a pay raise and greater maternity leave,' someone else declared. Another wrote: 'We need longer maternity leave in the US, period!!!' 'The US needs to figure something out [because] being a parent in this country is so unfair,' a different user stated. Other comments read: 'This makes me so angry,' 'You shouldn't be working,' 'The 9-5 does not work and never has,' and, 'We were NOT supposed to live like this.' One user came to her defense after some people urged the working mom to 'just quit her job.' 'People saying just to quit, hilarious. Apparently, half the moms in this comment section have zero financial comprehension. Not everyone can afford this at all,' one said. However, others urged women to find 'provider husbands' so they can be stay-at-home moms. 'Choose your husbands wisely,' someone advised. 'Not having kids unless I can stay home and have a provider husband,' another user affirmed. 'This is why it's so important who you marry and what it looks like when you have kids!' someone else wrote. A different comment read: 'Proof that marrying a good provider man is a flex. Being a girl boss isn't.' One person chimed in, arguing that finding a 'provider husband' isn't the answer: '"Marry a provider," y'all think that men also don't wanna see their kids?' The United States does not offer national paid maternity leave for mothers, per Paycor. However, some moms are in luck, as the laws vary by state and industry. States that offer paid maternity leave include: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and the District of Columbia. The Family and Medical Leave Act offers parents 12 weeks of unpaid leave with job protections.

Billionaire Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reveals one thing that could make him run for 2028 presidency
Despite ruling out a run for the White House in 2028, Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban has revealed the one thing that would make him have a change of heart. Cuban has been pegged as one of the political outsiders with a possible chance at taking the White House in the 2028 election, alongside Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Oprah Winfrey, and Stephen A Smith. The 67-year-old stated Friday that a Presidential campaign would not interest him unless Donald Trump attempts to run for a third term as President. 'I'm not going to do it. I've said the only way I would do it is if Trump tried to run for a third term. Because then that's just changing everything, right? And that's a true threat,' Cuban said to Semafor. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits anyone from holding a third Presidential term, with some Republicans wanting to challenge that to keep Trump installed. Trump himself has hinted that Vice President JD Vance is the heir to his place atop the Republican party, with some of the President's statements muddying the waters as to what he believes his political future is. Cuban sold his majority share of the Mavericks and left his full-time role as an investor on the popular television show 'Shark Tank' to spend more time with his children. A run for President, much less moving into the White House, would completely go against his wishes. Cuban's three kids are between the ages of 15 and 21, and wants to avoid the 'grief and abuse' that comes along with the spotlight of their father running to run America. 'When I'm 95 and taking - or 105 and taking my last breaths, right? I don't want to say, "Well, gee, I ran for president. Maybe won, maybe didn't,"' Cuban added. Cuban said he favors entrepreneur Scott Galloway, late-night host Jon Stewart and Texas state representative James Talarico, who has come into a national spotlight in recent weeks in defiance of Trump, as the 2028 Democratic candidate for President.
