Officials: Driver involved in fatal wreck also in U.S. illegally
A man who led police on a pursuit and was involved in a fatal Rowan County wreck was jailed Wednesday on a second-degree murder charge, authorities said.
Federal investigators said they've determined the man was in the U.S. illegally.
Landis officers picked up the Kannapolis man from a Charlotte hospital Wednesday, Landis Police Chief Reggie Faggart said. Authorities had earlier identified him as Rigo Verto Guillen Martinez. His real name is Carlos Alfonso Guillen Martinez, federal authorities said Wednesday.
On Feb. 6, an SUV driven by Guillen Martinez, 33, crashed into a car driven by Leeanna Newman, 20, of Salisbury, killing Newman and her unborn baby. Newman's 1-year-old daughter, Mallory, a passenger in the car, was not injured.
Rowan County District Attorney William Kenerly has decided to charge Guillen Martinez with one count of second-degree murder, Faggart said.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents learned his real name Wednesday and that he's from El Salvador, said Richard Rocha, an agency spokesman. Guillen Martinez was deported in 1997 and 1998, the spokesman said.
If Guillen Martinez is convicted of an N.C. crime, he would be deported immediately after he finishes serving prison time, Rocha said. -- Sharif DurhamsJoin our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
