Man Who Brutally Murdered Daytona Beach Couple During Bike Week was an Illegal Immigrant with Multiple Prior Drug Charges

Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis

The Biden Administration’s dangerous immigration policies, as well as the soft-on-crime policies of the 9th Circuit State Attorney’s Office (Orange and Osceola counties), have once again resulted in the needless deaths of innocent Floridians. On March 10, 2022, a man named Jean R. Macean, a citizen of Haiti and an illegal immigrant, was taken into custody for the murder of Terry and Brenda Aultman and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Macean had previously been arrested in Orange County prior to the murders, but the charges were inexplicably dropped by the State Attorney’s Office under former State Attorney Aramis Ayala. Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young described these killings as “one of the most vicious attacks I’ve ever seen in my 20 years.”

“Floridians should not be subject to the reckless open border policies that the Biden Administration is imposing on this country,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “These policies are deadly — we also need answers as to why the State Attorney’s Office dropped charges against the defendant.”

Macean was previously arrested in Orange County in 2019 on multiple drug-related charges involving cocaine, meth, and marijuana. Those charges were dropped by the State Attorney’s Office, under former State Attorney Aramis Ayala on February 10, 2020, for unknown reasons.

The Aultmans suffered at the hands of an illegal immigrant due to open border policies that are failing our citizens. The Biden Administration announced a new Temporary Protected Status designation for Haiti last year, a reversal of the policy of the previous administration. The policy allowed Macean to stay in the country.

In September 2021, Governor DeSantis signed Executive Order 21-223 declaring the Biden Border Crisis. Following that, the Governor and Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that the Attorney General had filed an amended complaint challenging President Joe Biden’s unlawful catch-and-release policy called “Parole + Alternatives to Detention,” which allowed for the release of illegal immigrants who are apprehended at the southern border.

In addition to this horrific murder, on October 7, 2021, Yery Noel Medina Ulloa, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras, was arrested for the murder of a man in Jacksonville. Ulloa had crossed the U.S. border illegally, posing as an unaccompanied minor, before making his way to Florida.

  • When the SOA office drops charges on someone and
    Something like this happens, the state attorney should be held responsible and
    charged…someone must be held responsible! Enough of this revolving door!! Punishment needs to be severe & swift so the perpetrator knows not to do it again and learn their lesson. Illegal immigrants are exactly that and need
    To be here legally. All illegal immigrants need to be
    Rounded up and sent back to where they came from
    And come in legally. We don’t need the released felon criminals from foreign prisons coming here to receive
    Our welfare like how other counties are sending their
    Released inmates to Grace Market to “sorta build back
    Better”…

  • Start charging or suing the Activist Judges who give light sentences!

  • Surprise surprise. WTF were his previous judges and lawyers? Dox them now.

    • That’s a great idea. But you know, that should already
      Be tracked and they should be charged, fired, fined, & reprimanded when this happens..it was Ayala who let the murderer loose. She should be brought up on charges. Her
      Family or loved ones could have been his victims. Blood
      Is on her hands. This is an outrage. I hope she’s for the death penalty now!!!

      • Yes. All these prosecutors need to have published report cards… how many of their cases get dropped,
        And repeat offenders, & successful convictions,
        When sentencing is too light & inappropriate, etc

  • Well, the SAO must be reading the comments here
    Because some bonds seem to be getting set more
    Appropriately….incarceration and high bond and
    Hard sentencing is a good crime deterrent…letting them
    Go sure isn’t working…

    • They can’t be letting them go because of equity…
      That’s Total Bullshiz.

    • Hopefully so, BW. And he needs to. Every SAO, judge or public defender that wants to remain in office needs to be ready to answer in detail for every situation where a violent person has been released into the community to victimize more innocent people.

  • He has been in the country at least 3 years, 2019 under previous administration. Why wasn’t his hairy ass deported? No one should be in our country without proper documentation…period.

  • Would someone help me understand why Gov DeSantis is pinning the blame in the Biden administration? This illegal immigrant was arrested in 2019 under previous administration. Why wasn’t he deported then?

    • Cause the liberal dems want open boarders and
      Wouldn’t let Trump build the wall…Trump got elected
      In 2016 and pilosi & shumer kept up with the Russian
      BS story, etc.

    • The Chinese flu pandemic of 2019 was also the
      Perfect cover into implement the great reset…you
      Know what that is right?

    • Biden should have deported his ass before he committed the murder. The murder didn’t happen on Trumps watch…Biden wants all immigrants to come
      Here and wants to put them on our welfare so they
      Can build back better..
