On Thursday, two Texas residents were charged with aggravated assault and kidnapping in Rosenberg after an alleged failure to collect a ransom from the relatives of a Honduran migrant. The migrant’s aunt attempted to secure the victim’s freedom at a meeting with the alleged traffickers. When an agreement on price could not be met, the alleged smugglers fled the area in a vehicle with the migrant in tow.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of the Brazos Town Center, according to the Rosenberg Police. The migrant’s aunt had been notified by the traffickers that her nephew would be returned if a sufficient ransom was paid. After negotiations between the aunt and the traffickers broke down, the aunt was struck by the fleeing smugglers’ vehicle. Her injuries are unknown.
