A man has been arrested for the 2023 rape and murder of a Maryland mom of five - and if his crime weren't bad enough, here's the final kicker: he should never have been in the country in the first place.
Police arrested 23-year-old Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, an illegal alien from El Salvador, last Friday and charged him with the rape and murder of Rachel Morin, who went missing early last August after going for a walk along the Ma & Pa Trail in Harford County, Maryland. Morin's body was found the next day off the trail in a drainage ditch. She'd been sexually assaulted and killed.
Police were able to connect the crime to Hernandez through DNA evidence found at the crime scene, which also connected him to a 2023 home invasion in Los Angeles, where he allegedly assaulted a 9-year-old girl. Authorities picked him up in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said Hernandez had come into the country unlawfully in 2023, just months after he reportedly murdered another young woman in El Salvador.
“It is my understanding that this suspect, this monster, fled to the United States illegally, after committing the brutal murder of a young woman in El Salvador, a month earlier, in January of 2023. Once in our country, and likely emboldened by his anonymity, he brutally attacked a 9-year-old girl and her mother, during a home invasion in March of 2023 in Los Angeles,” Gahler said in a press conference this weekend.

“I want to now direct these comments to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., and to every member in both chambers of Congress,” he went on. “Here in Harford County we are 1,800 miles away from the Southern border, and the American citizens are not safe because of failed immigration policies. This is the second time in just two years that an innocent Harford County woman has lost her life to a criminal in our country illegally.”
This is the second Salvadoran illegal alien recently arrested in Harford County for murder. In January, a 17-year-old illegal alien was arrested and charged with murdering 20-year-old local Kayla Hamilton.
And around and around and around we go.
