An illegal alien has been charged with murdering his girlfriend and her sister in a seemingly random machete attack in LaPlace, Louisiana.

Oscar Urias, a 23-year-old illegal alien from El Salvador, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend and her sister to death and chasing down two others with machetes.

On October 25, Urias allegedly stabbed Elizabeth Tornabene, 31-years-old, and her 15-year-old sister to death. Two others, his 17-year-old sister and his 15-year-old brother, were allegedly chased down by Urias in the attack, but were able to escape.

Police said that Urias was wearing a mask at the time of the attack and eyewitnesses told local media that the illegal alien “looked like the devil.”

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Bryan Cox confirmed to Breitbart News that Urias is an illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the United States as an Unaccompanied Alien Child (UAC) in March 2012.

“Urias was previously encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol in March 2012 near Hidalgo, Texas, after illegally entering the U.S.,” Cox told Breitbart News. “He was issued a Notice to Appear and later released to a sponsor in May 2012. Due to policies in place at that time applicable to unaccompanied minors, his immigration proceedings were administratively closed on Sep. 29, 2016.”

“ICE will now seek to take Alaya-Urias into its custody if he is released from criminal custody for any reason and reinstate removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts,” Cox said.

Urias is being held at the St. John Parish Prison without bail and ICE has requested for him to be turned over to their custody should he get released at any time.

Man In Devil Mask Allegedly Killed Girlfriend And Her Sister Before Wearing Innards Around Neck
Oscar Urias, 23, allegedly murdered his girlfriend, Elizabeth Tornabene, and her teen sister, Hattie, before attacking his own teen sibling

A Louisiana man wearing a red devil mask allegedly hacked his girlfriend and her teen sister to death with a machete before also attacking his own teen siblings.

Oscar Urias, 23, is accused of committing the grisly attacks on Sunday afternoon at a home that he was renting with his girlfriend, Elizabeth Tornabene, 31, in LaPlace and one other LaPlace residence, the St John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office said in a Monday press release.

Urias, Tornabene, and their respective teen siblings were talking in the home’s living room when Tornabene followed Urias into the bedroom. Urias' siblings were visiting from Baton Rouge for the weekend. Urias then left the bedroom with Tornabene — and he was allegedly wearing a red-colored devil mask and carrying two knives.

“Suddenly, he attacked Elizabeth and killed her," the press release stated. "Urias then began stabbing his sister. As Elizabeth’s sister and Urias’ brother fled the house, Urias chased them and managed to capture Elizabeth’s sister, stabbing her in an open garage at a residence in the 2400 block of North Sugar Ridge.”

Tornabene’s sister has been identified as Hattie, 15.

By the time investigators caught up to him at the garage and ordered him to surrender and drop the knives, the sisters had already been fatally attacked. Urias also allegedly attacked his own 17-year-old sister and 15-year-old brother during the incident. His teen brother had attempted to save Hattie, the press release stated.

The homeowner of the garage told Nola.com Urias was wearing Hattie's insides around his neck.

“I looked him in his eyes. He looked like the devil,” the homeowner, who didn't want to be identified, said.

Tornabene’s father, Rocky Tornabene, told Nola.com in a separate report that Tornabene had begun caring for Hattie full time last year. She had enrolled her teen sister, who she shares a mother with, in school and tried to provide a safe home for her. While he hadn’t yet met his daughter’s boyfriend, Rocky said she claimed he treated her better than any other partner.

“For the first time in my life, I wasn’t concerned about my daughter,” the father told the outlet. “My child was happy, and as a parent, that’s the dream. You want your kid to grow up and be happy.”

Tornabene was a tattoo artist at several local tattoo shops in the New Orleans area. Hattie was an aspiring tattoo artist who had planned to apprentice with her older sister.

Urias’ sister was listed in critical condition Monday at a hospital in New Orleans. His brother was treated and released on Sunday.

Urias has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted first-degree murder. No bond has been set yet. It’s not clear if he has a lawyer.

No motive has been determined at this time.
