Illegal migrant faces six charges in Georgia murder case
A junior at the University of South Carolina was killed Wednesday in a hit-and-run near campus involving an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials.
In an X post Thursday, Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, said the driver was "in our country illegally," noting 21-year-old Nathanial "Nate" G. Baker "should be alive today."
"@DHSgov prays for Nate’s family, friends, and loved ones and will work every day to protect innocent Americans like Nate," McLaughlin wrote.
Rosali I. Fernandez-Cruz, 24, is charged with hit-and-run resulting in death, failure to give information and render aid, failure to yield the right of way and driving without a license, according to a statement from the Columbia Police Department (CPD).
