Convicted murderer and national of Dominica arrested in Texas (photo by MyTexasDaily.com)
U.S. media outlets are reporting that a convicted murderer, who had been living under an alias and illegally residing in the United States, has been apprehended in Houston, Texas.
According to reports, the man was originally sentenced to 45 years in prison but was mistakenly released after being wrongly identified as a U.S. citizen. Authorities later determined that he is in fact a national of the neighbouring island of Dominica.
The U.S. Border Patrol’s Laredo Sector confirmed that the individual is now back in custody and is facing deportation proceedings.
The agency stated that justice has been served and that the arrest has helped make communities safer.
I hope that he is not being deported to Antigua and Barbuda. It seems there is where all the criminals are being deported too. Lord Jesus, help us here in little paradise.
Nope they mentioned that he is a Dominican national so evidently he will be deported back to Dominica.
Police officers face covered but the man face showing
This could have ended very badly
Send him.bacl.to DA where there’s alot of fig to pick
Too often Caribbean nationals get stigmatized when things like this happen.
For how Dominicans up in arms about the country accepting deportees, they MUST take that one cause he’s their own
This is a serious failure of checks and balances
Glad he was caught before something worse happened
People always say ‘leave the past alone,’ but murder doesn’t expire.
At least he is off the streets again.
