Anthony Fabian Marin La Torre arrest
Anthony Fabian Marin La Torre, a 42-year-old Venezuelan, was wanted by police in his native country for “direct involvement” in the homicide of four persons, according to ICE.
On February 18, Venezuelan officials notified US law enforcement that Marin La Torre was wanted for contract killings.
On May 2, Marin La Torre was apprehended in Grapevine by a team consisting of the DEA, FBI, US Marshals Service, and ICE Dallas.
According to ICE, he illegally entered the United States on September 26, 2022, near the port of entry in San Luis, Arizona, with his family.
He has been charged as an inadmissible immigrant and is currently in ICE custody awaiting removal proceedings.
What we don’t know: ICE did not provide any additional information regarding the homicides or Marin La Torre’s involvement in them.
What they’re saying: “This fugitive stands accused of some horrific crimes, further representing a threat in the communities of Texas that we will not tolerate,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Dallas acting Field Office Director Josh Johnson.
