EL PASO — An illegal Mexican immigrant who previously was deported after a felony conviction was arrested today on charges that he strangled an elderly West Texas woman.

Juan L. Leal, 29, was charged with murder in the death of Asuncion Flores Montes, 78, who died Aug. 12 at her home in Socorro. Authorities initially believed Montes died of natural causes, but El Paso County Sheriff's spokesman Rick Glancey said an autopsy concluded that she was strangled and had suffered a head injury.

Few other details about the case were released.

State criminal records show that Leal was convicted of aggravated sexual assault in El Paso in 2002. He served about two years in state prison before being released to federal immigration officials in April 2005.

Leal was then deported as an "aggravated felon," according to Border Patrol spokesman Patrick Berry.

Leal was then deported as an "aggravated felon," according to Border Patrol spokesman Patrick Berry.

Glancey said Leal's arrest also included an outstanding warrant charging him with violating a protective order and making a terroristic threat in July 2005.

OMG! Deported in April 2005 and then he's right back in
the U.S. committing crime 2 months later! Why wasn't serious effort put into finding this man once he reentered the U.S. and violated the protective order and made terrorist threats? If he could be found after he murdered this poor woman, what's their excuse for not apprehending for the outstanding warrant? Sheesh, this is insanity!

Popeye - You should post the article on the "News" page as well.
