The family of deceased 10-year-old Alex “AJ” Wise Jr. laid their boy to rest on Saturday, a week after he was fatally injured in a hit-and-run involving an illegal immigrant in Midland, Texas.

Alex was walking home from school on Feb. 8 when Rogelio Ortiz-Olivas, a 50-year-old illegal immigrant and serial border offender, struck the young Texan with his black truck and fled.
