EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — A man from Juarez will serve time in federal prison both in Texas and New Mexico for murder and illegal re-entry, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Texas.

Luis Antonio Talamantes-Romero, 36, from Ciudad Juarez, was arrested by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who learned he illegally re-entered the U.S. after being deported multiple times, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Talamantes pleaded guilty to the offense in May 2020.

In June 2021, Talamantes was charged with the murder of a 55-year-old woman in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Talamantes tried to rob the woman and shot her in the head when she honked her car horn at him in November 2019.

Talamantes fled to San Antonio where he was then arrested by ICE.

Talamantes was sentenced to Texas federal prison for 20 years for one count of illegal re-entry.

In New Mexico, he will be sentenced to life in prison with an additional 26.5 years to run consecutively.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Talamantes’ Texas sentence will run consecutively to the time he will serve in New Mexico.

He should be executed at sunrise, period.

I do not want to pay over $30 grand a years to feed that feral animal.

$600,000 for 20 years in federal prison

$780,000 for 26 years in New Mexico prison.

Heck no...put him down and out of our misery.

Since this article did not mention the victims name, I did a search and found this. Her name was Jacqueline Vigil aka Jackie Vigil. Will tag her name and add her to the tracking list at top.

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Luis Antonio Talamantes-Romero, a 36-year-old Mexican national, received more than a life sentence in New Mexico last year for a 2019 murder. Now, the U.S. Department of Justice says Talamantes will also serve a 20-year federal sentence for illegal re-entry into the U.S.
Talamantes was the man behind one of Albuquerque’s high-profile murder cases. A New Mexico jury convicted Talamantes of the first-degree murder of Jacqueline Vigil and additional charges.

Before the murder, Talamantes illegally entered the U.S. from Mexico and pled guilty to doing so in 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) says. Now, a federal court in San Antonio, Texas has handed Talamantes a 20-year sentence for one count of illegal re-entry



That means Talamantes has received sentences of life in prison, plus 26 years in prison for the crimes in New Mexico, as well as an additional 20 years in federal prison for the re-entry. That federal sentence starts after Talamantes serves his New Mexico sentence, the DOJ said.
