Law enforcement officials said more charges could come as the investigation continues into the fatal jet ski hit-and-run that happened in Grapevine over Memorial Day weekend.

Ava Moore, 18, was kayaking on Grapevine Lake on Sunday when she was struck and killed by a jet ski with two women on it, police said. 

The suspected driver of the jet ski, 21-year-old Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez was taken into custody Tuesday after fleeing the scene with 21-year-old Maikel Coello Perozo, who was also taken into custody. Gonzalez and Perozo then struck two vehicles while leaving the area, police said. 

The passenger of the jet ski remained on shore with witnesses, according to police. There are currently no charges against the passenger.

Gonzalez and Perozo were arrested on Tuesday at a home in Dallas, according to Texas Game Warden Captain Joseph Quintero. He said it is unknown what their relationship is, other than that they know each other.

Quintero said good detective work, in combination with the 900 tips that were submitted, led law enforcement to the Dallas home where officers made the arrests. Quintero didn't say exactly where the house was or who lived there.

"[This is a] tragic situation," Quintero said. "I hope people will take this opportunity to remember [Moore] and be safe on the public waters." 

Moore had a bright future ahead of her as an U.S. Air Force cadet.   

In a statement that was read on behalf of the Moore family, they said they are thankful for the prayers and asked for privacy and support from the community.

"We are so thankful for the countless messages and demonstrations of love and support but most grateful for the many prayers we have received. This is a difficult time for all involved, but also an opportunity for our beautiful girl to continue to impact our community," the Moore family statement reads. "Out of this tragedy, God will make good, and that only can be accomplished through forgiveness. We respectfully ask for our time and privacy to grieve and thank you for all of your kindness and support."

Quintero said game wardens will use technology to recreate the crash and continue the investigation.

Texas Game Warden patrol was "spread thin" on Memorial Day weekend

Quintero said game wardens were patrolling Grapevine Lake the day of the crash, as well as other major lakes across North Texas.

He said with the limited resources the game wardens had, they were thinly spread and there was no boat in the area where the jet ski crashed into the kayak Moore was on. 

While Moore's family mourns her tragic death, authorities urge jet skiers to abide by the "50-foot rule."

"If you're operating a jet ski, you must not be going any faster than what we call headway speed or slow idle. If you're within 50' of any object or the shoreline in water, which obviously, if they had applied that law as it were supposed to, this incident wouldn't have happened," Quintero said.

Suspects in jet ski hit-and-run are in the U.S. illegally, ICE says

Gonzalez and Perozo are both Venezuelan nationals who are in the U.S. illegally, according to Josh Johnson, the acting Dallas field office director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Johnson said the two crossed the southern border in 2023 or 2024 and were arrested once they got to the U.S., processed and released. Once they are done with state charges, Gonzales and Perozo will be turned over to ICE and see an immigration judge to determine if they will be deported.

As of Wednesday, Gonzalez and Perozo were being held in the Grapevine jail. Gonzalez's bond is listed as $500,000.

Gov. Greg Abbott responds on social media

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to the incident on social media, with his stance on a punishment for the suspects.

The governor's press secretary Andrew Mahaleris released the following statement regarding Abbott's social media post:

"The State of Texas has no tolerance for heinous criminals who kill Texans. The victim's family deserves swift justice, and the criminal illegal immigrants should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.  All Texans deserve protection from unchecked criminal activity."
