Garcia-Rodriguez allegedly confessed fully to Maria Gonzalez’s murder and sexual abuse
According to Houston’s KRIV-TV, 18-year-old Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez was arrested on Saturday. Garcia-Rodriguez allegedly confessed fully to Maria Gonzalez’s murder and sexual abuse, according to the police. Murder charges against him carry the death penalty.
In a report from Independent Journal Review, Gonzalez’s body was found on August 12 at her family’s Pasadena, Texas apartment, in a trash bag under her own bed. According to a former roommate spoken with by KTRK, Garcia-Rodriguez, who resided in a nearby apartment, fled the city two days after the girl was discovered dead.
The culprit was captured in Louisiana’s Shreveport.
According to KTRK, Garcia-Rodriguez only recently arrived in the country in January.
Maria Gonzalez’s father expressed his gratitude to the police
The immigrant turned himself in to immigration authorities in El Paso, Texas, and was then put with sponsors in Louisiana.
President Joe Biden’s administration, according to The Hill, has seen unprecedented levels of illegal immigration at the porous southern border.
Maria Gonzalez’s father, Carmelo Gonzalez, expressed his gratitude to the police in a statement following their arrest. We would want to express our gratitude to the Pasadena Police Department, the Louisiana Police Department, and any those officials that helped capture this cold-blooded killer. I beg those in authority to do what is just for us. For what he did to my daughter, may he bear the full weight of the law.
To help with funeral costs, the Gonzalez family has established a GoFundMe page. On Sunday morning, $55,125 had been raised.
