An illegal immigrant who has defied deportation orders for more than a decade has been charged with killing a 71-year-old Californian in a hit-and-run while allegedly driving drunk, according to reports.
Mexican national Humberto Munoz Gatica, 57, was first arrested by ICE in 2011, but released the following year under the Obama administration, federal law enforcement sources told Fox News.
He has now been accused of being the driver who knocked down and killed a 71-year-old pedestrian, Barry William Tutt, in Dana Point on Friday, the Orange County Register reported.
Witnesses reported seeing a silver Ford sedan hitting Tutt before speeding off.
Gatica, of Laguna Niguel, was arrested the next day and booked into Orange County Jail on suspicion of DUI and charges related to the hit-and-run.
