Authorities have announced the end to a massive, multi-state manhunt for an illegal immigrant police say was responsible for a killing spree that claimed five lives.
Now, critics are blaming a weak border policy for the suspect being in the country in the first place after reports surfaced that he’d been deported in 2004… and was arrested for domestic violence last year, but escaped a second deportation.
This wasn’t Pablo Serrano-Vitorino’s first run in with the law, local station KSHB reporter Ariel Rothfield reports.

Immigration Customs Enforcement say they attempted to flag Serrano-Vitorino for detention and deportation, but an apparent error let him walk free.

Serrano-Vitorino, who police say fatally shot four people Monday at his neighbor’s home in Kansas before killing another man about 170 miles away in a rural Missouri house, was taken into custody early Wednesday morning after the extensive manhunt, the Missouri Highway Patrol said.
The Highway Patrol told the Kansas City Star that Serrano-Vitorino was arrested in Montgomery County, Missouri. The suspect was found lying on a hill just north of Interstate 70 and no shots were fired, the newspaper reported.
“He looked exhausted,” Sgt. James Hedrick said.
The manhunt for him that included helicopters, police dogs and at least one SWAT team began late Monday after the first shooting. One of the four men managed to call police before he died, but it’s unclear how the men knew each other or what may have prompted the shooting, Kansas City police officer Thomas Tomasic said.
The manhunt shifted Tuesday, when a truck Serrano-Vitorino was believed to be driving was found about 7 a.m. abandoned along I-70 in central Missouri, about 80 miles west of St. Louis.
About 25 minutes later, sheriff’s deputies responded to a shooting about 5 miles away at a Montgomery County home and found the body of a 49-year-old man, according to the patrol.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement Tuesday night that Serrano-Vitorino, of Mexico, had been deported from the U.S. in April 2004 and illegally re-entered “on an unknown date.” ICE said it would place a detainer on Serrano-Vitorino if he is taken into custody.

I worked with the I.C.E. Joint Task Force in New York.
The reality was, there were too many criminals on parole or probation, that there was not enough Federal Prison or Detention Facilities, to hold all of the Illegal Immigrant Criminals.
Guys!!!! Mr. Trump IS RIGHT- those illegal criminals HAVE TO GO – the sooner the better.
I agree with you and it can not happen soon enough.
Why isn’t Obama also arrested for aiding and abetting a criminal act? He is the one who wants the backdoor left wide open so more of these heinous acts can be repeated over and over again! Obama hates America !
Your right Chuck, but this is what Obama wants to help turn America into a third world Country like Mexico.All he’s doing is using these people and minorities to his advantage for their votes. He doesn’t care about any of them and he’ll make it look like he does by giving them their freebies and freedom to stay here. A real kick in the rear to the true American citizen.
Obama cares about no one. He is full of hate. He is doing this to try to make the one world government. Can anyone say antichrist?
Bingo you got it , there is the source of this rotten problem .
That black bastard is doing his utmost to destroy this country and needs to be put OUT of our misery.
I agree with you.
You are right. He is full of hate. He is trying to keep our borders open for everyone. He is working on a one world government. Can anyone say anti Christ?
They have let him get away for all sort of criminal activities but I must say we are compliant.
I agree with you and yet they get on trump’s case because he wants to enforce immigration…people see their own people get murdered by illegals yet the SYSTEM lets them get away or make an excuse because they couldn’t detain them..Start waking up people..it’s time we get leadership that can do something instead of protecting the wrong people and thats our bad president o’bama…worst president ever..and if i posted in the wrong category, i apologize, but i merely replied to u because i agreed with your statement..
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON TO BLAME. OBUMBA. WE HAVE TO ROUND UP ALL THESE FELONS AN SEND THEM HOME, IF YOU ARE HERE IN AN ALIEN STATUS, YOU ARE A FELON. THAT HASNT BEEN CHARGED YET. BUT THE CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITTED.
Round them up and send the to the White House and Capital of the USA. Then these people will know what we are going thru and they will impeach the man from Kenya
You mean like when America stole this land from the native Indians. And Mexicans. And raped thier women. Wonder how they felt when this white racist Invaders where stealing thier land.
Maybe we can look at times when mamuts were roaring in the world. They were bad too.
If they are here illegally, send them home! We need a President that will enforce our immigration laws and make E-Verify mandatory, if they cannot work here, they can take the same route home they took to get here?
He should not be deported, as obviously that doesn’t work. They just keep coming back. He needs to get the death penalty, right here in the US. Then we know he’ll be out of our misery and no more innocent people will lose their lives!
Kill the bastard that keeps coming back into USA, to kill innocents?
Why work when they can get welfare and all the other goodies. All they have to do is apply and I can assure there are plenty of people out there to show them how, including the Immigration officials.
Amil Baker
You are so correct. By the way, Obummer cannot pass e verify. Just thought I would let you know.
Ship them back where they came from or put them out of their angry miserable lives!!
You mean like when America stole this land from the native Indians. And Mexicans. And raped thier women. Wonder how they felt when this white racist Invaders where stealing thier land.
You are repeating yourself Algonso. What happened over 200 years ago, does not make an act committed today right. Those people are all long dead and paying the price for what they did then.
Put them all in a plane that is obsolete and take them all back to Mexico. Leave the plane there and blow it up once the pilot is out of it.
We have enough mental illness in the USA without all of these illegals bring here. I blame Obama for lletting them all in since he has been in office. He will not let our border patrols do much to stop them. He is a muslin and wants his friends (terrorist) come cross. We cannot wait for him to be out of office.
Your right I also cannot wait till Obamas out of office. We need Donald J. Trump to help with this mess of a country we have right now. Trumps is the only MAN for the job!!!!!!!!! RT
Rose T: I agree with your completely. He is not going to let up on us as long as he is in office. He will come up with something one way or the other to make life miserable for the American people as long as he can get by with it. I see no help from our Congress to do anything about him………the Democrats have no intention of trying to impeachment him or they would have done it before now. They are the ones who have gotten us into this mess with Obama back in 2008 when they added his name to their ballot for the president of this country. They had to have known he was not a citizen of this country or that he was not born in this country. He is a Muslim and was born in Kenya……….this is from his grandmother in Kenya who witnessed his birth. I am concerned because I think he will pull some major
set back to keep from leaving the White House as he is suppose to do. He could declare “martial law” if things get out of hand in this country………..or if there is some large attack by a terrorist group in our country………the FBI has issued a warning some months ago saying that we now have terrorists in every one of our states. I feel like he is just waiting for something to keep the American people’s minds and thoughts.occupied ………..like maybe our election in November. I feel exactly like you concerning Donald Trump………I feel like he is the only person who can set this country on the right track. He is a smart business man and we need that, he knows how handle countries in making deals, he talks tough and he means what he says, and we certainly need that. He does not owe anyone any favors………he is not tied up with any lobbyist, pac’s, or anyone who will demand favors from him………he owes no one anything but the American people. He doesn’t take anything from anyone, especially people who are mistreating this country and it’s people. I think he will make this country a great president and it will not be easy……..the more I read and listen to what is going on in this country, he will have his hands full and lots of help from the American people to get rid of corruption and crookedness that is so prevalent in this administration. Think he can do it though.
totally agree, his end of term cant come fast enough. people really need to research & get as much knowledge as to their choice for presidents real agendas & policys from A to Z, so we aren’t stuck with another president flushing our country down the toilet !!
Trump is right – We have to get ALL the illegals out of our country.
Keeps on happening time after time.
Thanks Ovomit, you scumbag!
Semper Fi
ANOTHER FAILED POLICY FROM SOCIALIST OBAMA, NOT LETTING OUR BORDER PATROLS DO THERE JOBS AND OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM ARREST/DETAIN/DEPORT THE ILLEGALS.
WE MUST SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.
Yes they do and a vote for Trump will close them.Everyone trying to bury him especially republican elite. Go Trump!!!!!
Agreed, 100%. Vote Trump!
I always said to have about 10 miles in from boarder designated as military bombing range..illegals would make great target practice for our military in training. Bet the illegals would get the message loud and clear after about a good week of practice!
It is horrible that illegal felons are allowed to enter this country at will, even after they have been deported. Then to have Sanctuary cities that protect them and put American citizens in danger, is unbelievable. Our borders are not protected and the government could care less. Something has to be done to prevent these atrocities from happening over and over again.
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Vote Trump and tell these “conservatives” (who actually are democrats infiltrated in the Republican party) to mind their own business and allow the people – voters to vote their nominee in and stop fighting WE THE PEOPLE! VOTE TRUMP!!! #trumptrain
Forget another feeble attempt by Immigrations officials to do their job. This guy should go to death row. His death row appeals should be heard in a speedy manner and then he should meet the executioner.
I’m tired of incompetent government officials allowing a flow of criminals into our country. The bureaucrats that incompetently let this guy remain in the United States should lose their jobs and their pensions.
It would be interesting to know why he chose the people he murdered. I assume he probably felt that the neighbors turned him in? Lord knows…I despise one of my neighbors, but it would have never dawned on me to hurt them, or their property. Then the long drive for some one else? This is the kind of individual who will claim the death penalty hurts. Now we’ll spend a lot of money making sure this illegal gets his rights. 12 years down the road if he’s given the death penalty, he’ll then get what’s coming to him. For those 12 years, our taxes will pay to house him, and feed him, and legal costs for him. I’ve always thought our legal system was the best in the world. It bothers me when the murderer isn’t a citizen of our country.
Obama is a Muslim and loves these immigrants who kill Americans. Hillary will allow the same policies. No one wants the laws enforced. Obama also has a lot of blood on his hands.
Your right ED! When Kennedy wanted to spill the beans on various issues that was of concern to the American people and they would not allow this to happen and you know the end result and all the controversy that followed. I was reading that one true patriot who once worked in government said that the Eternal Flame on Kennedy’s grave is no different than a notch on a gun of an Old Western Killer after he kills and also a mark of victory for the Elites. Just never know…..
A year and a day for all death sentences. Do all appeals in that time period. It can be done if they are forced to. Then execute! Their choice between shooting of hanging! They should feel something while being put to death! Might give someone else pause.
The evidence is piling up for the impeachment of Hussein Obama and for the gutting of our government of all the liberal communist democrats and rino republicans who do put the safety of the American people first and foremost.. Obama is too busy converting American into yet another third world Muslim dictatorship persecuting Christians…
I agree totally Obama should have been tried for treason,long ago.
These illegals have to go and you can blame Obama for not doing anything to stop them. Instead he brings in more everyday.
VOTE TRUMP and lets stop the flow into the US and round as many as possible and send the packing!
Wall anyone?
WHO SAID 4 MORE YEARS HISTORY IS DOOMED TO REPETE IT SELF # EYES WILL NOT HEAR EYES THAT DO NOT SEE WE WILL DE DOOMED
Trump for President!!!!!!!
This is the obama’s admin. fault!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People….you need to WAKE UP before it’s too late!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another Democrat in office is like another obama in office! We don’t live in a prefect world!!!!!!!! TRUMP, TRUMP, TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The RINO GOP party will be extinct pretty soon!!
The family of the murdered need to file a wrongful death suit naming Obama, Border patrol, Homeland Security and it’s cabinet members as defendants.
When we capture criminals and send them back, before we do we should surgically implant a GPS monitoring device that will explode if they get within 1 foot of the Border again. Kind of like the death sentence remitted if they stay in Mexico. Very humanitarian if they stay away, not so humanitarian if they continue to break the law. Not a large charge, so no one else is affected, but just a small brain implant that will neutralize their motor skills.
It’s a damn shame all this is taking place because of the arrogance / ignorance and cold heartless thugs running this Country.
Lets put them up infront of the firing squad and see how fast our government changes
Yea right the people firing the guns would be thrown in jail for torched and it would have to be done in a state where gun laws are legal.
How can the Democrats continue to justify the open border policy? We need a wall on that southern border. Go Trump.
We can all thank Obama for his open border policy and disregard for American life’s.
He and every Congressman who voted to fully fund his ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY. Thank the Paul Ryan’s and Mitch McConnells, The John Cornyns and Kevin McCarthys of the Congress And then thank all the democ-RAT congressman and women. They are all part of this sh*t on America move
Once again, one of Obama’s protected ILLEGALS is released onto our streets instead being deported according to the law. He then does what so many others do; Commit more crimes!
When will Kenya Boy be indicted as an accessory to the crimes these criminals commit once released?
To the legal Mexicans in this country we are not against you but the illegals that are here needs to go back home and come back legally. Don’t think the Republicans are against you they aren’t my 2 daughter’s are part Mexican and they vote Republican because they know the Democrats wants the USA to be like Mexico and other third world countries. So if Trump is the nominee that’s OK he will have our vote if Cruz is the nominee he will back of the 2 Democrats running neither will have our vote. GOD BLESS AND SAVE AMERICA.
Very well stated, and as The American voters are finding out, there is policy, which the Congress have not carried out, as ‘The Good Old Boys and Girls of D.C. are more interested in their ‘get rich schemes of taking bribes, in order to get the peoples’ bills placed before the Congress for a vote. “The Obamacare Vote was illegally performed by Reid/Pelosi for Congress.”Policy and procedure was not performed by The House and The Senate.” The Congress cannot VOTE BLINDLY on a 2000+ page unread bill, not discussed before voting, and the members of
each Congressional Group should have objected to a call for a Blind Vote. ‘Vote for it and then you can read it, by
Ms. Pelosi.’ And did The Supreme Court Justices read the 2000+ pages, and How can anyone add thousands of
unread pages to a voted and passed bill? Did you know Public Law 414, Section 212 Immigration, Nationality,
Naturalization Act for the US and it remains in effect today. The Prohibition of entry to the US if the Alien belongs to an organization seeking to overthrow the government of the United States by “force, violence, or other unconstitu-
tional means. (AS OBAMA IS USING TO OVERTHROW THE USA ILLEGALLY ATTACKING OUR RIGHTS AND OUR FREEDOMS WRITTEN IN THE U.S. CONSTITUTION) Islam, by law is prohibited from US Immigration, by the Koran, Sharia Law and the Hadith all require complete submission to Islam, which is antithetical to The U.S.
government, The Constitution and The Republic. That means the US States should NOT HAVE SHARIA LAWS or
First Muslim Women Judges in Our U.S. REPUBLIC. It is Our Laws and Our Justice, and the UN AGENDA 21 is
trying to take over The USA, The US SEA Treaty, The Disability Treaty-to take away your children for indoctrination,
to take ALL lands/water ownership from everyone, to take away your Guns and Weapons, the US riches,oil, gold.
This election is very important to get it right. Terminate the UN HEADQUARTERS TO GO ELSEWHERE, NOT USA
Just one more reason We, The People of America demand our Federal Government enforce our immigration laws. Why we demand they honor the US Constitution Article 4 Section 4.
But we have idiots running the show right now, who are hell bent on gaining more voters and low wage workers. So the American Citizen be damned. Their power is more important.
Time to prepare a multitude of PINK SLIPS
At the risk saying the wrong thing–why can’t the events happen in the suburbs of Washington, DC. That way the Congressmen, Senators, and maybe the President would pay more attention. What will it take for our ‘glorious leaders’ to wake up?!!
Build that wall!
Yea we the people will build that wall obama.
The American people’s lives are in jeopardy because our Congress and the President have greater concern for the illegal aliens over the safety and security of the American people. The Political establishment has failed US now Trump maybe a GAMBLE but at this point that’s all be got. Forget the medias claim of Eleven Million illegal aliens in the USA the real Nbr is Twenty Plus Million at Least. No amnesty no rewards for breaking and entering.
If illegal aliens were given work permits in the US with the stipulation that they would never be given Voting Rights no democrats would be supporting them.
It is about Social Justice, STUPID!!!
We must be our brother’s keeper, for our enemies in particular. They are zillions!
Every early release of any penitentiary criminals, where more crimes have been committed, Save all of the upkeep for those committing more crimes by using a firing squad. There will be a guarantee of NO MORE CRIMES by repeat criminals. Those who were victims of a crime, by the early release, can file a huge lawsuit against the person who granted early releases, not the US taxpayers. If America would place Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Arizona, in charge of the US Prison System, his administration of the prisons have paid off with much lower budgets, prisoners maintaining the fruit/vegetable gardens, and others care for the animals, chickens etc. that feed all prisoners for a lot less than the administration in charge today. Taxpayers’ dollars should go
to US Citizens’ care and help for Seniors, only.
I am democrat but I sick and tired of The 2 corruptions party .I will vote for trump .
Those who want to reduce/control ILLEGAL immigration are racists according to the left The democrats are happy if the the dead people are non-democrats. Fewer to fight against!
here is one GOOD reason to stop letting immigrants in our country! We do not need this in America, we have enough to deal with as is! We need Trump and a WALL built to keep immigrants OUT!
Where is the left?
1) no one on the left is asking how he got a gun, if he registered it, was it secure and how many bullets did it have!
2) how did he live in USA, stolen identity, theft, drug sales, or more? How many people have been affected? Probably thousands.
3) obviously did not own a car, clearly stole it-
4) where is the left on the victims along the way, death, theft, I’d theft, etc.
5) where is the left on all the reports that police took from crimes he committed and the resources use?
6) was he on govt aid? Who vetted him? Where was he living?
This one man costs America millions, not to mention the death to the families affected. He has crossed borders, used up border resources, police time, robbery reports, proabbly drug sales killing more youth, theft to support his life, used up govt services that good people desperately need, does he have diseases, did he father children, did he steal innocent people’s identity, the list is so long, if we just calculate this one mans violations, crimes and more I bet we tally a million in 10 yrs. NOw calculate 10 million of them and our president letting in millions more. What a waste. These people should be micro chipped and everyone cought we should subtract 100 k per person that enters USA illegally from state they came from (no longer support the nation they come from wiht aid!) they need to lock up criminals- we should not be funding thier issues. We don’t see Americans ransacking other nations by the millions. Proof is dictatorship, socialism and communism creates people like this, probables starts in that nation they came from. And that is not Americas problem, that is a problem that can only be fixed in that nation. Period.
Interesting the left never talks about illegal guns being used, what hypocrites.
