A day after a Louisville man was arrested and charged with murder, J-town police held a press conference on a crash that killed two juveniles on Tuesday.

J-town police released information that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has put a detainer on Carlos Ortega-Santos, 26, because they believe he is living in the country illegally.

Ortega-Santos is accused of killing Alena Clay, 10, and Tyeisha Lacy, 16, as they rode their bikes with two other juveniles.

Police found Ortega-Santos in the driver's seat of his vehicle and an investigation revealed that he was driving northbound on Taylorsville Road when he veered into the bicycle lane.

The younger Clay was pronounced dead at the scene; Tyeisha was transported to Kosair's Children's Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. A third juvenile suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to the hospital.

Ortega-Santos was treated at the scene. After he was taken to the hospital, tests determined that he had a blood-alcohol content of .200, more than double the legal limit.

Ortega-Santos is facing charges of murder, assault, wanton endangerment and operating a motor vehicle under the influence, driving without a license and failure to maintain insurance.

He was scheduled to be arraigned today.
