Illegal Accused of Murdering Teacher
An illegal immigrant has
been charged with the
murder of a Massachusetts public school system
employee.
Jose Melendez, 54, allegedly killed Sandra Hehir by
strangulation in her Worcester apartment, where she was
found, the Boston Globe reported.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials
confirmed to Breitbart Texas that they have placed an
immigration detainer on Melendez.
Melendez, according to police, also used the aliases
“Alvarado” and “Segura” and had a long criminal history,
with most recently being arrested in a neighboring region
of the state.
In 2014, Melendez defaulted on probation after being
convicted for breaking and entering, according to the
Globe, and is currently charged in two drug-related crimes
after he allegedly used a false name with Worcester police.
Hehir was called “Buffy” by her friends and family and was
a beloved educator in the local school district, according to
superintendent Maureen F. Binienda said of Hehir to the
Telegram. “I really hope that people join together and try
to find who did this.”
If released to ICE under any circumstance, Melendez will face deportation.
