MIAMI — A man arrested by police early Tuesday is accused of abducting, sexually assaulting and shooting a 12-year-old boy who had snuck out of his home to walk to a friend’s house in South Florida.
A passerby saw the boy wandering along a street before 3 a.m. Saturday and alerted authorities. The boy later told police that he had heard a loud bang and was pushed out of a car. He had been shot in the jaw and was temporarily blinded.
“He had lost his sight and he was using his touch trying to find his way around to seek help,” Miami-Dade Det. Alvaro Zabaleta told news outlets.
Police said they arrested Aliex Santiesteban, 43, early Tuesday. He’s charged with sexual battery with a deadly weapon/serious injury, kidnapping a child under 13 and attempted murder.
The boy is recovering at Jackson Memorial Hospital, police said.
The good Samaritan, whom television stations did not identify by his full name, was recorded on surveillance video escorting the crying boy into a food mart to get help.
“He was screaming, ‘Help, someone, help me, please.’ So I (brought) him to the store where they could call the police,” the man told television stations.
Investigators said boy had placed pillows in his bed to trick his parents into thinking he was sleeping before leaving the house on Friday night. He said he walked to a friend’s house about 2 miles (3.2 kilometres) away.
He was on his way home when he was forced into a car, police said. The boy told investigators he tried to get out, but the car’s child locks were engaged.
An arrest report said Santiesteban pulled his car onto a roadside swale in the Brownsville neighbourhood near Miami and forced the child into the backseat, where he assaulted him. Police said a brief struggle ensued and Santiesteban shot the boy.
Santiesteban denied the accusations, police said. It was not clear whether he has an attorney.
Investigators had sought help from anyone in the area with surveillance video. Before the arrest, Zabaleta pleaded for more information.
“If this individual is so brazen to do this, God knows what else he’s willing to do,” Zabaleta said then. “The longer this individual is out there, then the longer that our children in that area are not safe.”

What a less than animal Aliex Santiesteban is , raping a helpless child. With liberals running things, this clown / less than human will spend little time in jail.
IF any jail time at all..
I SAY its high time we brought back BEHEADINGS in public for scum like this.
If ever there was a poster boy for someone who qualifies as a “registered democrat”, it is this creature. Why do democrat governors so aggressively strive to return the right to vote to animals like this? Apparently assumed shared values. I still love the photo of John Wayne Gacey posing next to Rosaline Carter due to his qualification as a Chicago Democrat party precinct captain.
“If this individual is so brazen to do this, God knows what else he’s willing to do,” ,,,,,,,,,,just like the tens of thousands of Brazen border jumpers who bring their own 12 year-olds with them, when they get here and find the local stock of human prey running short for social molestation opportunity. God DOES know, but WE THE PEOPLE are only about to find out what else they are willing to do to break our laws, at OUR expense, leaving us as short up and blind as this kid when it comes to their true future intentions. Joe thinks it’s an innocuous intention to vote in his party of criminal intentions,,,,and he is correct. Those who break little laws grow up to break big ones. Sleepy Joe and his son Hunter are living proof of that theory.
AND You can bet, IF HE WAS A WHITE GUY, that would be the FIRST THING the press mentioned about him.
A perfect candidate for a slow, excruciating death, by being staked on top of a fire ant colony. Pay per view proceeds to go to the victim.
OR getting dumped in a vat of acid… Or a pool of Pirannah
Retroactive birth control would be too nice for this piece of excrement. However, since he appears to be a “person of color”, he will be judged based on that and the fact that he was deprived (depraved is more like it) of proper socialization because of his early life
WHY do we hear this story from The Canadian Press? Why wasn’t the American media all over it?
Easy! Take one look at the perp’s name, Aliex Santiesteban. LSM are afraid he might be illegal or even that they might have to criticize one of their “People of Color”!
ITS NOT they are tooo scared to mention it, ITS THAT THEY see this as NOT furthering their agenda to bash all whites… So it therefore doesn’t matter..
