An illegal alien from Guatemala has been charged with killing a 61-year-old pedestrian and then fleeing the scene this week in Pennsylvania, authorities say.
The horrifying incident unfolded at around 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night in Coraopolis, a borough of Allegheny County near Pittsburgh.
The victim, identified as Ulises Montalvo, was struck and killed by the driver of a vehicle who fled the scene, WTAE reports.
Authorities quickly tracked down a suspect identified as Mario Guzman-Vasquez and arrested him in nearby Ambridge.
After discovering Guzman-Vasquez is in the U.S. illegally, local law enforcement alerted Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal agents took the Guatemalan into custody on Monday.
Guzman-Vasquez illegally entered the U.S. in November of 2016.
The Biden regime “used prosecutorial discretion to dismiss his immigration case” and allowed him to remain in the country indefinitely, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
“Mario Guzman-Vasquez had no right to be in this country in the first place. Now, a family has lost a loved one. Guzman-Vasque callously fled the scene of a deadly crash, leaving the victim he killed,” stated DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
“Sadly, the Biden Administration released this criminal illegal alien into American communities. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, DHS is restoring law and order and putting America first by removing illegal aliens from American communities.”
An investigation is ongoing.
