ELKHORN - A 17 year old teen from Milwaukee accused of kiling a Delavan man while driving high on marijuana is an illegal immigrant.

Donovan Espinosa made his first court appearance in Walworth County today accused of killing 41 year old Dean Schumacher Tuesday morning after Espinosa blew through a stop sign.

Prosecutors say Espinosa was driving through Walworth County at 4am after smoking marijuana.

They also say he was driving with an invalid license because he's in the states illegally.

He's also accused of driving with stolent plates and carrying a concealed weapon. Deputies found a knife in his car.

Schumacher was on his way to work as a truck driver when Espinosa hit the driver's side of his pick up truck.

Schumacher's family say he's a hard working who would do anything for anyone and for them to learn the person accused of killing their loved one wasn't even suppoosed to be here makes this all even more devestating.

"All the defendant had to do is not smoke marijuana and he (Shumacher) might be here.

All he had to do is not be here illegally and he (Schumacher) might be here.

All he had to do is see the stop sign and my brother would be here, said his sister who wished not to be identified.

Espinosa is being held on 100-thousand dollars bail and sits in the Walworth County jail.
