A teen suspected of killing four people in northern Nevada this month
entered the U.S. illegally from El Salvador, federal immigration
authorities said Tuesday.
Wilbur Martinez-Guzman, 19, has been jailed in Carson City, Nev.,
since Saturday, when he was picked up on an immigration violation.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT EXPECTED TO FACE MURDER CHARGES IN NEVADA KILLING
SPREE
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Tuesday that the teen had no
criminal record or history of previous immigration violations, KTVN-TV
reported.
President Donald Trump seized on the killings as evidence of the need
for a wall he has proposed building on the border separating the U.S.
and Mexico.

Four people in Nevada viciously robbed and killed by an illegal
immigrant who should not have been in our Country. 26 people killed on
the Border in a drug and gang related fight. Two large Caravans from
Honduras broke into Mexico and are headed our way. We need a powerful
Wall!

"Four people in Nevada viciously robbed and killed by an illegal

evening in a tweet. "We need a powerful Wall!"
Martinez-Guzman is due in court Thursday in Carson City for an
arraignment on charges of burglary, possession of stolen property and
obtaining money by false pretenses, the station reported.
He could also face murder charges later this week. Prosecutors in the
Nevada counties of Washoe and Douglas are preparing those cases..
"A conviction for these crimes is our highest priority," the station
quoted Washoe County District Attorney Chris Hicks as saying.
Gerald David, 81, a former Reno rodeo boss, and his wife Sharon David,
80, were found dead Jan. 16 in Reno. Connie Koontz, 56, was found dead
Jan. 10 in Gardnerville, where Sophia Renken, 74, was also found dead
three days later.
Investgators believe the victims were shot and killed in their homes
during burglaries.
MAN, 19, DETAINED ON IMMIGRATION CONCERNS WANTED IN 4 NEVADA MURDERS
My heart hurts but Im so very thankful they were able to find this
monster, Koontzs daughter said on Facebook Sunday.
Madison Koontz-Winkelman also said she didn't want to see her mothers
murder become political.

Youre all entitled to have your own opinions but at the end of the
day this monster is a murderer, she said. He murdered 4 innocent
people, one being my mother. I dont care if he was legal, illegal,
white, black, (L)atino, I dont care. I just want to make sure that
this pathetic human being rots in prison and never sees the light of
day ever again.
