JERSEY CITY, N.J. (KMOX) — After police arrested and charged a 33-year-old man for the murder of a New Jersey woman, news has surfaced that the suspect was in the U.S. illegally and was deported twice before.
Authorities deported Jorge Alberto Rios-Doblado to his home country of Honduras in 2003 and again in 2004, however, he returned to the States sometime after that.
If found guilty of the crime, Rios-Doblado is required to serve his sentence before leaving U.S. soil. Sentences for murder can be as long as life behind bars.
Hudson County is hosting a 5K fundraiser in the name of the victim, Carolina Cano, who was raped, strangled and drowned in a nearby lake while jogging around Jersey City’s Lincoln Park March 24.
