Illegal alien ordered removed years ago charged in crash that killed newly engaged 23-year-old teacher

A previously deported allegedly drove drunk before flipping his SUV into oncoming traffic and killing a newly engaged Ohio teacher, authorities said.

Alvaro Uribe-Gonzalez, a 33-year-old national who federal officials say illegally returned to the U.S. after being deported, now faces aggravated vehicular homicide and other charges in the death of 23-year-old Cameron Lyon.

Lyons fiancée, 23-year-old Abrielle Kerns, was seriously injured in the fiery Sunday evening crash on U.S. Route 33 in Fairfield County, according to her family.

The initially described Kerns injuries as non-life-threatening, but relatives said she remained in intensive care "fighting to recover" as the family grappled with Lyons death.

"This is an unconscionable tragedy because it was preventable," Republican gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy wrote. "This perpetrator shouldnt have ever been in our country, let alone permitted to remain here."

Ramaswamy pointed to Uribe-Gonzalezs alleged drunken driving and immigration history as he vowed to take action if elected governor.

"But he ended up driving drunk & killed an innocent young man in Ohio. I wont tolerate this in our state," Ramaswamy wrote. "So devastating. It doesnt have to be this way. Ill fix it in Ohio next year & will go hard as necessary."

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said Lyon was driving west when Uribe-Gonzalezs eastbound GMC Terrain went off the right side of the highway shortly after 6 p.m.

Uribe-Gonzalez allegedly overcorrected, veered across the roadway and overturned into the westbound lanes, slamming into Lyons Chevrolet Trax. The GMC then caught fire.

Lyon was treated at the crash site but died a short time later, the patrol said. Uribe-Gonzalez suffered minor injuries.

Investigators said alcohol is suspected to have played a role in the crash.

Uribe-Gonzalez was charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol and operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lodged a detainer with the Fairfield County Jail the day after his arrest, asking local officials not to release him before federal agents can take custody.

The Department of Homeland Security () said Uribe-Gonzalez first entered the country illegally through Texas in January 2020 and was arrested by Border Patrol.

An immigration judge issued a final removal order Jan. 11, 2020, and the Trump administration deported him to Mexico April 14 of that year, according to DHS.

Federal officials said Uribe-Gonzalez later illegally crossed back into the U.S. at an unknown date and location.

"This illegal alien has been charged with aggravated vehicular homicide and driving under the influence of alcohol after allegedly causing a car crash that killed 23-year-old Cameron Lyon in Ohio," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said.
