An illegal immigrant confessed to strangling a 21-year-old woman on her birthday in an upstate New York Airbnb, then carrying her body past a police car before burying her in the woods.
Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis, a 21-year-old from Ecuador, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in a Syracuse courtroom on Tuesday for the brutal killing of Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza on June 18, prosecutors said on Thursday.
"Chilling surveillance video captured the killer and his victim walking into the Syracuse Airbnb home, and walking out later with Toaquiza’s body slung over his shoulder — as the cruiser drove by."
Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza was celebrating her 21st birthday when she was killed by a man who took advantage of the Biden administration's open borders.
Syracuse police confirmed that the vehicle seen in the video was one of theirs but declined to provide further comment.
Police stated that Chacaguasay-Ilbis took Toaquiza's body to Lincoln Park and buried her in a shallow grave before leaving the area.
Authorities noted that Toaquiza and Chacaguasay-Ilbis knew each other since childhood in Ecuador.
Chacaguasay-Ilbis surrendered to the police days later and was charged with her murder.
According to sources from Homeland Security, the killer entered the US illegally in El Paso in January 2023 but was released due to a lack of detention space. Toaquiza, who had been in elementary school with Chacaguasay-Ilbis in Ecuador, crossed the border illegally in Lukeville, Arizona, a few months later on June 19, 2023.
"She told border agents she was fleeing an abusive lover in her native country, but it is unclear if her eventual killer is that person," the sources said.
"Chilling surveillance video shows Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis carrying the body of Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza from a Syracuse Airbnb on June 18."
"Jhon Moises Chacaguasay-Ilbis, 21, pleaded guilty this week to the murder of 21-year-old Joselyn Jhoana Toaquiza."
Toaquiza had an asylum court hearing scheduled but was killed before that could happen.
The police reported that Chacaguasay used a ligature to strangle Toaquiza to death.
In court, he admitted to second-degree murder and concealing a corpse, and he is expected to receive a sentence of 22 years to life, which is three years less than the maximum, on February 14.
