Disturbing Details Emerge After Illegal Immigrant Kills Mother Of Young Child

Authorities revealed that the illegal immigrant accused of killing the mother of a young child in Virginia grabbed a weapon and filled a bottle with gasoline before the fatal stabbing.

Salvadoran national Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, 19, allegedly murdered Carmen Lizet Puch, 42, at a park in Great Falls, Virginia. During a press conference Wednesday afternoon, authorities shared that Cedillos-Campos and Puch worked together at a local restaurant and were involved in an “intimate relationship.”

Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis said the two planned to meet at the park on Monday morning. The night before the killing, Cedillos-Campos left the restaurant armed with a fixed-blade knife, black latex gloves, and a water bottle that he later filled with gasoline, all of which he took from the business, Davis said, adding that it was “all very premeditated.”

“He ended up siphoning gasoline out of his motorcycle. He filled the water bottle with gasoline after he dumped the water,” Davis said.

Authorities believe Cedillos-Campos fatally stabbed Puch inside her car before dumping her body in the parking lot.

“We know that our killer stabbed our victim repeatedly and eventually doused her in gasoline and tried to set her on fire. He was unsuccessful in the attempt to burn our victim,” he said.

The suspect confessed to the murder after his arrest in Prince George’s County, Maryland, Davis added. He is charged with second-degree murder, according to police.

Just before 7 a.m. on Monday, a jogger in the park discovered Puch’s lifeless body near her 2011 Honda Civic, according to 7News.

Cedillos-Campos crossed the border illegally near El Paso, Texas, in April 2024 and was quickly released into the United States, despite telling federal agents he wasn’t afraid to return to his home country, law enforcement sources told The Daily Wire.

In a statement Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security accused Biden administration officials of ‘hand-delivering’ Cedillos-Campos to Fairfax County before they “recklessly unleashed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into American communities and abused the law to do so.”

The spokesperson also called out Democratic Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger for turning her state into a “hotbed of illegal alien crime” by adopting sanctuary policies.

“During her first days in office, Governor Spanberger signed executive orders banning state cooperation with ICE as well as terminating 287(g) state and local agreements. We are urging Governor Spanberger to put her community first and turn over this criminal illegal alien to ICE,” the spokesperson said.
