Last month, illegal immigrant Edgar Omar Torres-Rangel, 28, was enjoying a Mexican rodeo at Rancho La Herradura in Bell Buckle, Tennessee. He became intoxicated but decided to drive himself home. He ended up on the wrong side of the highway and hit Keri King’s vehicle head-on. King died at the scene.
Torres-Rangel was injured and taken to the hospital. That’s the last authorities have seen of him.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has offered a $5,000 reward leading to Torres-Rangel’s arrest.
TOP TEN ALERT: Can you help us find Edgar Torres-Rangel? He's wanted by TBI and @THPNashville to face a charge of Vehicular Homicide.
Both agencies have kicked in reward money, which totals up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest!

There has been no comment from authorities on how he escaped or if there were officers assigned to arrest him once he was released. Federal patient privacy laws prohibit hospital personnel from notifying law enforcement when a patient is released, but officers could have waited with him.
They didn’t.
My Take
There are so many questions surrounding this case. Was there any way to prevent Torres-Rangel from being in the country illegally? Why wasn’t he taken into custody the moment he was able to be released? Where is he now?
I’ll defer my opinion on this one because Jeff Boyce, who knew the victim well, said plenty in this heartfelt interview he gave after King’s death:
Tennessee Woman Killed by Alleged Illegal Immigrant Was ‘An Angel’ in Life
“One minute I’m so angry I can’t even explain how angry I am, and it makes me so sad I want to cry,” Boyce told The Tennessee Star Tuesday, before his voice broke and he started sobbing.
“I will spend every penny I’ve got to run a damn front page ad in every paper in this state right before election time and I will tell Keri’s story,” Boyce said, as a warning to any state legislator who won’t help.
“People say her older sister is broken because of this. I’m mad. I’m ready for the family to get mad. I’m ready for Keri to get justice,” Boyce said.
Keri King’s name must be added to the long list of American citizens whose lives were taken by illegal immigrants. It’s inexcusable that men like Edgar Torres-Rangel are protected by the left while their victims are ignored.
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our new GiveSendGo. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Truth Based Media
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
I didn’t know this victim but suspect Edgar Torres-Rangel was allowed to enter the U.S. without any vetting whatsoever. Further, illegal aliens commit 5,639 murders in the U.S. every year and most of the perps, as we speak, are watching big screen television in their respective prisons. We need to catch this sociopathic b*st*rd, punish him and deport him forever.
