Illegal Charged For Brutally Beating Infant Daughter To Death
Marlon Rabanales-Pretzantzin, a 20-year-old Guatemalan illegal alien, was arrested in New York after brutally beating his two-month-old to death. The child, Liseyda Rabanales-Barrios, was found dead at a home on Maple Road in Nassau County suffering from multiple broken bones, abrasions, and other injuries. At the time, they told first responders that the baby had fallen unconscious after falling off a bed.
However, charging documents obtained by ABC 7 show that Rabanales-Pretzantzin had repeatedly punched the infant in the stomach with a closed fist, slapped her in the face, violently shook her, and even threw her. The illegal alien then allegedly used a closed fist to put his entire body weight on the child’s chest.
Rabanales-Pretzantzin admitted to investigators that he had killed his child, telling authorities that he attacked the infant because he did not want her.
During a press conference, Nassau County Police Detective Capt. Stephen Fitzpatrick explained: “He admitted to us what had happened with the baby, how he abused it physically, how he felt the child wasn’t his and how he did not respect or want that child. He hit the child several times around the head and face. He threw the child on the ground.”
Fitzpatrick further revealed that an autopsy report had uncovered “older fractures within the ribs,” which suggested that the infant had suffered prior physical abuse. He also explained that the infant had sustained cervical spinal damage, sub-cranial bleeding, fractured ribs, and facial abrasions during the attack that killed her.
Rabanales-Pretzantzin was taken into custody on March 7 and booked into the Nassau County Jail without bail. He has been charged with second-degree murder and has plead not guilty, despite confessing to the crime.
The mother of the child was allegedly not involved in her daughter’s death, though a one-year-old child has been removed from her home pending an evaluation.
It is unclear how Rabanales-Pretzantzin made it to New York, but it has been confirmed that the illegal alien entered the U.S. through El Paso, Texas, in 2022. Reports indicate that Rabanales-Pretzantzin was initially taken into custody by immigration authorities but was ultimately released while he waited for an immigration hearing.
In response to this news, Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder laid some of the blame for the crime on the Biden administration, as their lax immigration enforcement allowed for Rabanales-Pretzantzin to enter the country and commit this horrific crime.
“Enough is enough,” Ryder said, adding: “I want you to all think about this man who should not have been in this country. This man should have never had a child in with him, in his residence. And what he did to this kid is unthinkable. Enough is enough. We got to stop this. We can’t have it no more.”
An ICE detainer will be placed on the criminal illegal alien, though it is unclear if that will be honored, as New York is a “sanctuary state” and therefore refuses to abide by ICE detainers.
