So, let me get this straight, this dude is an illegal alien who committed immigration fraud and they gave him TIME SERVED and let him stay in the US? What the hell?
Seriously? frick this guys family. He is a criminal who just tried to kill a police officer. When does the pandering stop?
Castillo?
Article is a good read. NOPD actually did an investigation, found the robber and the stolen items. I guess this officer didn't get the memo that it is better to not respond to the scene and just tell people to make a report online. For his hard work, he almost gets killed.

A man who stole a woman's purse at gunpoint outside a Treme church last week ignored a New Orleans police officer's repeated commands to drop his weapon and fired at the officer, who returned fire and hit him in the leg, authorities revealed Tuesday.
Daniel Ignacio Mejia Castillo, 32, fired twice at officer Levi Atkin before his 9mm pistol jammed, New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said. Mejia missed, and Atkin fired back 17 times, striking Mejia in his left leg twice, Ferguson added.

Mejia’s bail hasn’t been set, with federal authorities placing a detainer on him in connection with a warrant accusing him of fraud. Investigators haven’t elaborated on that case. But in September 2020, federal prosecutors charged Mejia — a native of Honduras — with having a counterfeit permanent resident card, also known as a green card.
Mejia pleaded guilty to the charge in February 2021, and was sentenced to jail time that he had already served, according to federal court records.

Ferguson said he met with Mejia's family Tuesday morning before the NOPD released the video of the shootout.

I agree, but all it says is that he met with them. We don't know what was discussed.

Officer fired 17 rounds and got 2 hits?
“Nice shootin’, Elmer Fudd!”

Yeah, that's not great, but a quick adrenaline dump and having to move because you have zero cover/concealment can cause that. He had a pretty decent reload, though.

Probably didn't ignore, just doesn't speak the same language. Go figure.

The fact he didn’t continue dumping into him shows impressive restraint
Perp could easily have cleared the jam and killed him while he’s talking on the radio

He's still in jail for shooting at the cop, bail hasn't been set.
FWIW he plead guilty to the fraud charges and spent 4-5 months in jail (from Sep 2020 to Feb 2021). The fact that he is still a criminal in New Orleans a yr later - I guess you can chalk that up to it being a sanctuary city?

Regardless of what we think about the charges and the fact that he's still in the US; I find this very interesting. Feds using this as a method to keep him in jail because they have no faith the DA will do the right thing?
