The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says an illegal immigrant who was previously deported<\/a> allegedly killed a 61-year-old man in September.<\/p>\n

The DHS<\/a> said Wilmer Fuentes Mejia allegedly killed 61-year-old Richard Ferguson Jr. in a hit-and-run crash in Durham, North Carolina, on Sept. 13. ICE lodged an immigration detainer for Mejia.<\/p>\n

The agency said Mejia first entered the U.S. illegally<\/a> in 2015 and was released into the country during the Obama administration.<\/p>\n

He was ordered to be removed by an immigration judge in December 2019 and was removed by ICE in 2020 during the first Trump administration, but illegally returned at a later date, officials said. Mejia is from Guatemala.<\/p>\n

Mejia has a criminal history that includes prior arrests for assault and driving under the influence.<\/p>\n

“Wilmer Fuentes Mejia is a criminal illegal alien from Guatemala\u00a0who has a history of driving while intoxicated and was previously deported by ICE in 2020. A local DA allowed him to walk free after multiple DUIs only to then cause this fatal hit-and-run that killed an innocent 61-year-old man in North Carolina,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Richard Ferguson Jr. will get justice. ICE lodged a detainer for this criminal to ensure this menace and public safety threat isn’t released back onto America\u2019s streets.”<\/p>\n

According to WRAL,<\/a> Ferguson Jr. was killed after Mejia allegedly drove off the road and hit two signs before hitting the 61-year-old.<\/p>\n

The victim’s brother, Reginald Ferguson, said his late relative helped him through a drug addiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“There was a time twenty some-odd years ago where I was going through some rough things, a drug addiction, and my brother helped see me through that,” Ferguson said.\u00a0“Never once gave up on me, one time…He didn\u2019t deserve to get killed and leave this earth.”<\/p>\n

At the time of the September incident, Mejia had an arrest warrant<\/a> for a 2020 DWI when he didn’t show up to court, according to the report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
