In 2022, Ricardo A. Ferrera, 32, was arrested, charged, and sentenced for shooting at two women who were driving a vehicle in Vineland, New Jersey. Ferrera was sentenced to five years, but was released from prison about a month ago. According to The New York Post, he also had a conviction for unlawful possession of a firearm.
Now his girlfriend is dead following a domestic dispute.

A New Jersey nutjob allegedly gunned down his girlfriend after a spat spiraled out of control Monday – barely a month after being released from prison, police said.
Ricardo A. Ferrera, 32, is accused of killing his lover Christina Cruz, 30, striking her twice in the living room of a Franklin Township home. Ferrera had just walked out of South Woods State Prison 33 days ago for shooting at two women, NJ.com reported.
It is unclear what sparked Monday’s fight.
A witness told cops he was in a bedroom near the living room when he heard the couple arguing – before two shots rang out, according to an affidavit obtained by the outlet.
Cruz was pronounced dead by first responders early Tuesday morning. Ferrera has now been charged with first-degree murder and is facing various weapons charges.
Release them early, then act shocked. Soft sentencing does the same damage in Rochester. Public safety is not optional.

And no one trusts the system to keep him locked up, even after this.
It’s crazy that violent criminals keep doing violent crime. It’s almost like when he tried to kill two people the first time it was a warning or something https://t.co/zgcLfSf5wg

Almost. And a weapons charge in 2025. But the Democrats will tell us it's racist and wrong to put guys like Ferrera behind bars while demanding the rest of us give up our guns to "save lives."
