\n In a post<\/a> on Truth Social Thursday evening, Trump shared shocking surveillance footage of the killing, calling it the result of immigration policies under former President Joe Biden and reiterated inflammatory rhetoric associating immigrants with crime. Trump\u2019s amplification of the video is the latest in a yearslong campaign to use certain killings as apparent evidence for stricter border enforcement.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe video of her brutal slaying is one of the most vicious things you will ever see,\u201d Trump said in his post, referring to the suspect as an \u201canimal\u201d and criticizing humanitarian protections previously granted for Haitians.\n <\/p>\n \n Gruesome video of the interaction, also shared online by the Department of Homeland Security, shows a man repeatedly hitting the hood and sides of a car parked in the gas station\u2019s parking lot with an object \u2013 an apparent hammer \u2013 in his hand.\n <\/p>\n \n A woman is seen exiting the store and approaching the man, appearing to speak to him, and the man turns and walks towards her, according to the video, which is then lightly blurred due to the graphic nature of the attack.\n <\/p>\n \n He immediately strikes the woman in the head with the object in his right hand, forcing her to fall backwards onto the store\u2019s sidewalk. He is then seen striking her another six times on her head and torso before walking over her body and away from the scene.\n <\/p>\n \n Police received calls around 7:19 a.m. notifying them that a woman had been hit with a hammer, according to court documents. When multiple officers responded to the scene, they found the woman unresponsive lying on the ground and she \u201cwas not breathing,\u201d according to the documents.\n <\/p>\n \n Through the surveillance video, authorities identified the suspect, who they said had previous interactions with police, and were able to arrest him later in the day, the documents say.\n <\/p>\n \n He has been charged with murder, criminal mischief, and damage to property over $1,000, a third-degree felony, according to the court documents.\n <\/p>\n \n CNN has reached out to Joachin\u2019s lawyers. He\u2019s being held without bond after a hearing in Lee County court Wednesday and is scheduled to be arraigned on May 4.\n <\/p>\n \n A memorial has been erected outside the gas station where the woman was killed, according to WBBH. Friends and family described her as a loving mother, devoted to her faith.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cEverybody, like, right now is sad \u2026not only me, not only my Bangladeshi community,\u201d M.D. Islam, a member of the Bangladeshi community in Fort Myers, told WBBH. \u201cAlso, all of us people, also around the world. They are very sad to see this news.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n In a statement<\/a> Tuesday, DHS said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents assisted Fort Myers police in tracking down and arresting Joachin in the city.\n <\/p>\n \n According to DHS, Joachin first entered the US in August 2022. A federal judge issued a final order of removal against him in 2022, but the government granted him Temporary Protected Status, which expired in 2024, the agency said.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe Biden Administration granted him, and all Haitians, \u2018Temporary Protective Status,\u2019 a massively abused and fraudulent program which my Administration is working to terminate,\u201d Trump wrote in his post Thursday. \u201cThis one killing should be enough for these Radical Judges to STOP impeding my Administration\u2019s Immigration Policies, and allow us to END THIS SCAM ONCE AND FOR ALL.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n The Trump administration has long sought to terminate the protection for more than 350,000 Haitians, but the efforts were blocked<\/a> earlier this year by a federal judge after plaintiffs argued DHS didn\u2019t conduct the necessary review of whether it\u2019s safe for them to return to Haiti. The administration has since asked the Supreme Court to intervene<\/a> on its behalf.\n <\/p>\n \n In his Truth Social post, Trump continued to accuse Democrats of allowing \u201cCriminals, Lunatics, and the Mentally Insane from all over the World to pour into our Country, totally unvetted and unchecked.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cPlease say a prayer for this innocent woman\u2019s family,\u201d he wrote regarding the killing. \u201cWe will ensure quick and severe JUSTICE is served in this case!\u201d\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An undocumented Haitian man has been charged with murder after repeatedly striking a woman with a hammer outside…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-226214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4226surveillancefootage.jpg\")
