Murder suspect in ICE custody is accused of luring teen into ambush where he begged for his life
An 18-year-old murder suspect is being held on an immigration detainer after prosecutors say he helped lure a 15-year-old Missouri boy into a deadly ambush where the teen begged for his life.
Yefry Archaga, 18, is charged with first-degree murder in the March 12 killing of 15-year-old Miles Young in Greene County.
Jail records show Archaga is being held without bond and is subject to a federal immigration hold.
A second suspect, Praize King, 18, is also charged with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in connection with the killing.
According to court documents obtained by the Springfield Daily Citizen, the attack was premeditated.
Prosecutors allege Archaga “planned and set up a 15-year-old boy to be murdered,” luring Young into what he believed was a meetup before ambushing him.
Investigators say the victim believed he was meeting a girl, but instead walked into a coordinated setup involving multiple individuals.
Investigators say a juvenile suspect picked up Young after leading him to believe he was meeting a girl, despite warnings that it could be a setup.
Court documents obtained by KY3 describe how the group had been driving around Springfielddiscussing the plan before stopping to retrieve a second vehicle. They then allegedly used two cars, including a black Mercedes, to track Young’s location and carry out the ambush.
When the vehicle stopped, Young ran.
A witness told investigators Archaga, allegedly wearing a black ski mask and armed with a “Glock-style” handgun, chased the teen on foot.
“Defendant ambushed victim, chased victim on foot, and shot victim as victim was stating he wanted to live,” the probable cause statement says, according to the Springfield Daily Citizen.
Another witness reported hearing Young fall and cry out, “I just don’t wanna die,” followed by gunshots.
Young was struck in the chest and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Witnesses told investigators they believed Young had been targeted, possibly tied to a prior dispute. He was expected to testify in a 2025 homicide case, according to the documents obtained by the Springfield Daily Citizen.
Authorities allege Archaga fled after the shooting and was arrested March 31 in Webb City following a two-week search. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 13.
The problem resides in that the problem is really an excuse to massively fund the homeless-industrial complex of developers and bureaucrats...not to mention NGO's and church groups!
Gavin Newsom’s nemesis demands strict new test for homeless — as LA burns $300M on doomed program
California should prioritize recovery before handing out taxpayer-funded housing, an expert told The Post.
Tom Wolf, who is leading calls to dramatically revamp the state’s broken homelessness system, said the only way to ensure people don’t end up back on the streets is to help get them off drugs and alcohol.
It comes as a shocking report found 40% of people placed into housing through a $300 million Los Angeles program ended up back on the streets within months.
At the center of the controversy is Housing First, an approach in California that doesn’t require sobriety, treatment or participation in services to get taxpayer funded housing.
“You’re basically warehousing people with addiction and mental illness and hoping they figure it out on their own,” Wolf, who has been a thorn in Gavin Newsom’s side for years, told The Post.
“Drug addiction and mental illness don’t get treated. It just happens behind a door instead of on the sidewalk.”
Wolf cycled through homelessness, arrests, and addiction, running out of options before finally hitting a turning point that wasn’t housing alone.
What changed his life, he said, was pressure, a forced choice between jail, the streets, or a structured treatment program.
“That’s what saved my life,” he said. “I had an incentive. Without that, I’d be dead.”
Now, he’s pushing for what he calls “recovery-based housing”, programs that combine shelter with structure, including sobriety requirements and participation in treatment.
Last year, a bill aligned with that approach, backed by Assemblymember Matt Haney, made it to the desk of Newsom before being vetoed.
“We’re not saying get rid of Housing First,” Wolf said. “We’re saying it can’t be the only option.”
Just last week, a federal judge dealt a blow to the Trump administration’s attempt to overhaul homelessness funding linked to housing first.
The ruling upheld a lower court’s preliminary injunction, marking the latest legal setback for a policy shift advocates warn could force as many as 170,000 people out of federally subsidized housing and back onto the streets.
Supporters of Housing First maintain that requiring sobriety can deter people from seeking help. But Wolf points to what he says is a growing counterexample.
In San Francisco, a clean-and-sober shelter funded by The Salvation Army requires sobriety and regular drug testing. The 60-bed facility is full and has a waiting list.
“If you incentivize people struggling with addiction, many will engage with services,” Wolf said. “But if there’s no incentive, the same behaviors continue.”
Meanwhile, the scale of spending continues to climb.Wolf estimates San Francisco spends roughly $450 million annually on housing programs for about 16,000 people. Los Angeles, he said, is likely spending closer to $700 million a year.
“I think it’s okay if you’re gonna spend three-quarters of a billion dollars a year on rent subsidies, that you have some requirements that go with that.”
Wolf was also selected as one of 50 people nationwide invited to a homelessness summit in Washington, D.C., next week, a sign his message is gaining traction beyond California.
He said he plans to use that platform to push hard for a shift in policy toward recovery-based solutions.
“I’m going there to make the case that what we’re doing right now isn’t working,” Wolf said. “We need to give people a real path out, not just a place to stay.”
