by Former Los Angeles, Calif., District Attorney Jackie Lacey (D) reportedly failed to prosecute the illegal alien now accused of murdering two Americans in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a domestic violence case in 2019.
Late last week, 32-year-old Yoni Barrios, an alleged illegal alien from Guatemala, allegedly went on a knife rampage on the Las Vegas strip where he targeted eight random tourists and Americans while wielding a knife.
Barrios is accused of killing 30-year-old Maris Mareen DiGiovanni and 47-year-old Brent Allan Hallett in the stabbing spree that left one victim in critical condition, two others in serious condition and three others in fair condition.

Notably, former Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey (D) failed to prosecute Barrios on a domestic violence charge in 2019, which could have landed him up to four years in prison.
