Illegal Immigrant, 19, Killed Co-Worker He Had ‘intimate’ Relationship with Near Virginia Trail — Tried to Set Her Body On Fire: Police; Illegal Immigrant Released Under Biden Accused of Stabbing Virginia Mother, Dousing Her in Gasoline

Illegal immigrant, 19, killed co-worker he had ‘intimate’ relationship with near Virginia trail — tried to set her body on fire: police:

A 19-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador is accused of fatally stabbing a female co-worker he had an “intimate relationship” with — then dousing her body in gasoline near a Virginia trail.

Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos was arrested Wednesday for killing 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch, who was described as a “loving mother of a 3-year-old girl,” Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis announced at a press conference.

Puch was found stabbed multiple times and drenched in gasoline in the parking lot of Difficult Run Park in Great Falls, about 15 miles outside Washington, DC, on Monday.

Davis said investigators found that Cedillos-Campos and Puch worked together at Bitez restaurant — a Halal-focused eatery in Herndon, Va. — and determined the two had been in an “intimate relationship” before the killing.

Detectives are still working to understand the full picture — including whether other relationships may have contributed to the motive.

“We also know that our killer left the restaurant on the night of the murder with a fixed-blade knife that he took from the restaurant,” Davis said, adding that Cedillos-Campos also took a pair of latex gloves and a water bottle from the establishment.

“We have video footage of our suspect at the restaurant where he worked with our victim, arming himself with a fixed blade knife, taking a pair of black latex gloves, taking a water bottle, and then off he goes with the intent to do harm and kill the victim.” --->READ MORE HERE

Illegal immigrant released under Biden accused of stabbing Virginia mother, dousing her in gasoline

Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, 19, was allowed into the country in El Paso, Texas, in April 2024, a federal source tells Fox News

The man accused of stabbing a Virginia mother to death in Fairfax County is an immigrant in the country illegally who was admitted by the Biden administration, a federal source tells Fox News.

Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, a 19-year-old Salvadoran national, was caught and released at the southern border during the Biden administration. The source said Cedillos-Campos was allowed into the U.S. at El Paso, Texas, in April 2024.

"[Former President Joe] Biden and [former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas hand-delivered alleged killer Cedillos-Campos to the streets of Fairfax County. They recklessly unleashed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into American communities and abused the law to do so," DHS said in a statement to Fox News. "President [Donald] Trump and [DHS] Secretary Markwayne Mullin are now enforcing the law, arresting illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country — and have reversed Biden's deadly catch and release policy."

Fairfax County Police arrested Cedillos-Campos Wednesday in connection with Monday's stabbing death of 42-year-old Carmen Lizet Puch. He is being held in the Prince George's County jail pending extradition to Fairfax County, where he faces a second-degree murder charge, according to police.

A jogger spotted Puch unconscious just off a popular trail in the affluent Northern Virginia suburb. When police arrived, they found stab wounds on her body and saw that the victim had been doused in gasoline. She was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

"The way that she was treated by this killer was reprehensible, to say the least," said Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis, who confirmed at a news conference that the two had an intimate relationship and worked together.

"We have video footage of our suspect at the restaurant where he worked with our victim arming himself with a fixed blade knife, taking a pair of black latex gloves, taking a water bottle, and then off he goes with the intent to do harm and kill the victim," Davis said.

Fairfax County, one of the most affluent counties in America, has seen a series of violent and sexual crimes involving immigrants in the country illegally, including several who were admitted under the Biden administration.

Puch was from Reston, a suburb of Washington, D.C. She was the mother of a young daughter and worked at a nearby restaurant, according to NBC Washington. The outlet reported that "people who knew her … said she was soft-spoken and worked hard to support her young daughter." --->READ MORE HERE
