Suspect in SD Slaying is Illegal Immigrant

August 02, 2010


The prosecution of a man who could face the death penalty if convicted of killing a South Dakota teenager
might be complicated by his Mexican citizenship.

Authorities say 21-year-old Alexander Salgado was working illegally in the U.S. when 16-year-old Jasmine Guevara of Mitchell was killed.

Mexico sued the U.S. in the International Court of Justice over 51 citizens on death row in 2003, saying the inmates' rights were violated because they weren't offered access to their consulate when arrested. The court ruled in Mexico's favor.

The U.S. Supreme Court has since ruled that the International Court can't dictate terms of U.S. law in death penalty cases, but the issue continues to simmer.

Salgado and a teenage girl are accused of slitting Guevara's throat last November, putting her body in the trunk of a car and setting it on fire.
