Two workers were shot and killed by an illegal migrant at a Chick-fil-A in Irving, Texas on Wednesday. This incident adds to the troubling pattern of crimes linked to asylum seekers.
The suspect, 37-year-old Oved Bernardo Mendoza Argueta from El Salvador, was charged with capital murder. According to police, the shooting occurred around 3:40 p.m. inside the fast-food restaurant. One victim, Patricia Portillo, was pronounced dead at the scene, while the identity of the second victim is being withheld until the family is notified.
After the shooting, Argueta fled the scene in a silver 1997 Honda sedan. Authorities tracked him down and arrested him early Thursday morning around 2:50 a.m. Irving police confirmed that Argueta had an ICE hold due to his immigration status.
This incident highlights the ongoing concerns about crime and public safety involving individuals seeking asylum in the United States.
