He had recently started driving a new route, according to his parents. His truck was hijacked by two men who had attempted an armed robbery on a South Florida jewelry store. Ordoñez was still inside the vehicle when authorities launched a two-county, rush-hour police chase that ended in a shootout between authorities and the suspects. Four people were killed, including the suspects and Ordoñez.
It's unclear whose gunfire hit Ordoñez. The FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives joined state and local police in investigating the incident. "I can't believe they killed my son. I came to this country for a better life, not for my son to be killed," said Apolinario, an Ecuadorian immigrant living in Hialeah, Florida.
Apolinario said her son had bought all the Christmas decorations for her home and had stayed up all night alongside his two daughters putting them up. Now, every time she looks at them, she is reminded of the tragedy that cost him his life. The mother said she has watched news footage"over and over" of the gunfire that ended the incident."He wasn't even given a chance," she said.
This is a B.S. headline meant to divide and insight hate. Don’t be fools, NBC is run by terrible evil people!
Me waiting on the white clan for their comments..
Not just killed but killed by COPS who were supposed to be protecting his life.
Who moves anywhere to be killed?
America is full of animals. Time to clean it up.
Well, hell. She should have simply stayed home is all.
The next time something like this happens the criminals will give the hostage a gun and tell them they need to defend themselves.
Another senseless tragedy. My sincere condolences to family and friends.
The whole situation is sad...I send my deepest condolences to the mother and his family...however..no one knows in which land, what time, and what day in which they will take their last breathe except for God.
Omg dam This family deserve better
So sad ....brought tears to my eyes
Dios la bendiga y fortalezca.
This is a B.S. headline meant to divide and insight hate. Don’t be fools, NBC is run by terrible evil people!
So sad. This proves that no place on earth is safe. The police really messed this one up. Someone should be fired, specially those who trained these policemen/women.
I am so very sad for this family.
The wrong person with easy access to guns Guns Gunsense NRA
Ask why Lamar and Jerome were left out of prison.
The police kept their distance and didn’t try to stop the UPS truck because of innocent bystanders; yet as soon as they had them cornered they moved right in irregardless of the innocent victims nearby.
lmao im an american veteran and couldnt get a job at UPS because their union is over ran with immigrants and minorities.
Most of the world is aware of the gun problems in the US.
Wait she didnt?!
I am friends with 2 LEOs. Neither thinks the proper ROE was followed in this case. It could have been even worse because of the police response. I am so sorry about her son. 🙏🏽
Cue the racists in 3...2...1...
Uh, oh. Time to leave?
Blame the stupid cops that thought it was a GOOD IDEA to shoot wildly into traffic!!!
Loss for words! Attempt lives in promising world may come with disappointment! Thank you for trying new promising life for your family!
Shocking! I hope the killer gets found!
This country man..
What was the motivation of those selfish racist thugs to commit those crimes? Why is nobody criticizing them?
This was a horrific event Sad that they have to go through this My prayers are with them
Its BECAUSE so many have come from other countries & we have a subset of citizens who don't value life that this happened. You took a risk out of greed. You weren't guaranteed a safe life by coming here.
This country is a hell pit full of demons I'm so sorry that this happened to your family.
Why not just let the bank robbers run and get them later ?....Cops who wanted to play gun battle ....amazing Cops didn't kill more people while firing into traffic and even if they thought they were doing the right thing they took innocent lives for reclaiming jewelry.....
Condolences to the family! Such a tragic and senseless act of violence.
So we are blaming the police and not the people who committed the crime? Typical.
Sue them into bankruptcy. FTP
Read 'Appointment In Samarra.'
😭😭😭💔
Sue of them POS! The whole department. All the way up to the governor for allowing these police practices. Tired of these thugs getting away with this sh*t.
My heart hurts for this family. I hope they sue. It won't bring back their loved one but they deserve justice!
I mean...but Mexico.
Heartbreaking
Perfect...find a sound byte you could use to politicize immigrants...but let the police off easy as usual!? KneelWithKaep
Her Ecuadorian son was murdered by reckless, trigger-happy police that operate under impunity. Welcome to America.
I am so heartbroken for this family. 🙏❤️😢
Unbelievable! His first day on the job! It’s the ironic song sadly enough.” An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic... don't you think”...
it's a common way to die here.
Best laid plans of mice and men
🙏🙏🙏🙏
That makes no sense.
UPS hostage dead, bystander dead, and police congratulate each other because no police were hurt, protecting and serving THEMSELVES, not us.
That's for damn sure.
It's the pieces of human waste who perpetrated this robbery who are responsible not the police.
They claim they were trying to 'prevent further tragedies,' and did so by putting *all* the people around that truck in danger.
The cops aimed at, shot at, and killed the hostage.
💔💔💔💔💔
😡
Makes sense.
He would be alive today if the robbers that shot a store employee and kidnapped him didn't...you know, use her son as a human shield. The police are not dumb enough to stand there with bullets flying at them. There humans, not sacrifices.
She can head back home anytime she wants.
So sad, sorry for your loss.
The blood on the steps of the truck is so horrific. They will never look at another UPS truck the same. 🙊💔
Sadly, No one can predicte where he will die!
but you do know shit happens.
