Federal authorities have confirmed that four men charged in the shooting death of a man in Kentucky are in the U.S. illegally.
The incident unfolded on Feb. 15 in Bowling Green.
Investigators say a Nissan Rogue carrying some of the suspects pursued the victim’s pickup truck for approximately 10 minutes following an altercation at a local nightclub, the Bowling Green Daily News reports.
A witness told police he heard a loud pop that may have originated from the victim’s truck during a confrontation in the club’s parking lot, potentially triggering the chase.
Diego Andres Lopez-Urdaneta was later found inside his vehicle suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
He was rushed to a local hospital but succumbed to his injuries on Feb. 16.
Five men were arrested amid an ongoing investigation: Bryan Aguero-Lopez, 22; Christopher Meza-Ramirez, 20; Luis Angel Lira-Duron, 23; Jason Aguero-Lopez, 20; and Jose Luis Galindo-Hernandez, 35.
Bryan is accused of firing the shot that killed Lopez-Urdaneta and has been charged with murder, while his brother Jason and three others are facing complicity to murder charges.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has now confirmed that four of the men — the Lopez brothers, Galindo-Hernandez, and Lira-Duron — are criminal illegal aliens from Mexico.
“These dangerous offenders have no place on the streets of Kentucky or the U.S. at-large, where they pose a threat not only to our law enforcement personnel, but most importantly, to the innocent public ICE is seeking to protect every day,” an ICE spokesperson told Border Hawk.
“The dangerous and violent crimes with which these men are charged are the very reason our brave men of women of ICE work hard every day to remove threats from our communities to keep them safe.”
ICE has lodged detainers against the four men.
