Grand Jury Does Not File Charges Against Driver Involved in Alamo Accident
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
McALLEN, Texas — A grand jury has decided not to file charges against José Fidencio Luna Ramírez, the driver who was arrested in connection with an accident in Alamo that left several people injured. However, Luna Ramírez remains in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to his wife, who spoke to Telemundo 40. "Yesterday I received the great news that the case was presented to the grand jury and they issued a 'no bill.' He is cleared, with no charges," said Sindia Robles, Luna Ramírez's wife, during an interview with Telemundo 40. A 'no bill' means the grand jury determined there was not enough probable cause to issue a formal indictment in the case. Despite the grand jury's decision, Luna Ramírez has not been released because he remains in immigration custody, according to Robles. "Unfortunately, they placed an ICE hold on him because he is a foreigner. It is unfair because he has a visa that allows him to work legally in the country, he has a valid permit, and everything is in order. He had been working here for many years. I find it unjust that it ended this way," Robles expressed. Robles indicated that her husband is in a detention center in Texas and they expect him to be sent to Mexico in the coming days. "He has already signed for voluntary departure and should be touching down in Mexico within three to four days," she stated. The accident in Alamo occurred on June 19, 2026, on Expressway 83, in Alamo, Texas. Several people were injured, including a 5-year-old child. At the time, police reported that Luna Ramírez was driving a tractor-trailer that was involved in a collision with a Dodge Durango and subsequently left the scene. After the accident, a video captured by the truck's camera circulated on social media, showing the moment of impact and part of what happened afterward. According to Robles, that footage and witness testimony were crucial elements for her husband's defense. "In this case, that helped the defense a lot for my husband to be released, because it clearly recorded that he was not at fault for what he was being accused of, and the witnesses were key pieces," Robles noted. Luna Ramírez had faced six third-degree felony charges, including two charges of collision resulting in serious bodily injury and four charges of collision resulting in injury. During his arraignment, a total bail of $300,000 was set. Following the grand jury's decision not to file a formal indictment on those charges, his situation now depends on the immigration process while he remains in ICE custody.
