A previously-deported illegal alien from Guatemala is facing significant charges after killing an American motorist in a drunk-driving crash in Virginia, authorities say.
The tragedy unfolded on Aug. 23 in Virginia Beach, but key details about the suspect just came to light this week.
Virginia Beach Police Department officers arrived at the scene of a two-vehicle collision just after 2 a.m. that morning.
One driver, identified as 37-year-old Norfolk resident Steven White II, was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver and passenger of the other vehicle sustained serious injuries but survived.
Investigators determined that a vehicle driven by Erwin Marroquin-Herrera, 26, had been traveling in the wrong direction when White’s vehicle was struck head-on.
Marroquin-Herrera was charged with manslaughter, DUI, and two counts of possession of fictitious identification.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has confirmed with Border Hawk that Marroquin-Herrera is an illegal alien who has been deported two times.
“Virginia can never become a sanctuary state. According to police, an illegal immigrant driving drunk and the wrong way, with 2 fake IDs, killed Steven White. Mr. White’s killer had been previously deported multiple times,” Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin stated this week.
Inmate information indicates Marroquin-Herrera is being held without bond.
Authorities continue to catch dangerous foreign criminals in the U.S.
