Morton was killed in the crash.
Authorities found the suspect walking away from the scene and transported him to a local hospital for treatment before he was taken into custody.

— Illegal Alien Crimes (@ImmigrantCrimes) September 16, 2024 Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders issued a statement on the tragedy, saying, “I am devastated for the loss of nurse Jennifer Ann Morton. Our state will feel the loss of this woman’s life and sends its prayers and sympathies to her entire family.”
“We will use every tool available to prosecute the illegal immigrant who caused this senseless death, but let’s be clear: he never should have been in this country to begin with. President Biden and Vice President Harris opened our borders wide. It’s time for the federal government to step up, close the border, and end the mayhem in our communities.”
Morton, a Little Rock native, had a “passion for taking care of children” and worked as a respiratory therapist at Arkansas Children’s Hospital for 24 years, according to her obituary.
“She was a member at Landmark Missionary Baptist Church and attended ladies’ bible study at East Union Missionary Baptist Church, as well. She was a loving daughter, sister and aunt. She loved to spoil her nephews and made sure they always had exactly what they asked for.”
Sorto-Herrera was arraigned on Sept. 10 and ordered held on $150,000 surety bond.
An investigation and legal proceedings are ongoing.
