Maryland illegal immigrants arrested after woman found murdered in woods: officials
An illegal immigrant in Maryland was charged with murdering his girlfriend after her body was found in a forest outside of Washington, D.C.
The Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland announced Monday that 24-year-old Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera-Rosa was charged with murder in the killing of his girlfriend, Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, 23, who was reported missing on March 31. Rosa’s uncle, Rolvin Eduardo Barrera-Barrera, 37, was charged as an accessory.
Deputies said Guerra’s body was found on April 17 in a “heavily wooded area” of the forest just outside of Cedarville State Forest in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Her body was found buried, the officials added.
Guerra was the mother to two young children, officials said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said its agents arrested Barrera-Rosa on April 5 in La Plata, Maryland, saying he entered the country illegally and is originally from Guatemala.
According to immigration officials, Barrera-Rosa and Barrera-Barrera were apprehended on April 10, 2019, near El Paso, Texas. They were served notices to appear before a Department of Justice immigration judge at the time.
ICE placed an immigration detainer on Barrera-Barrera with the Charles County Detention Center after he was arrested.

ICE said Barrera-Rosa is being held by the agency at its Farmville Detention Center in Farmville, Virginia, while he awaits extradition to the Charles County Detention Center for the murder charge.
According to FOX 5, the sheriff’s office found suspicious and unusual activity at Guerra’s home just one day after she was last seen. During their investigation, authorities found fake federal documents belonging to Barrera-Rosa.
Vernon Liggins, ICE Baltimore acting field office director, said this “marks a significant step toward justice.”
“This heinous crime not only devastated a community but also reinforced the urgent need to prioritize public safety by identifying, arresting, and removing egregious illegal aliens who threaten our neighborhoods. ICE will continue to work tirelessly, side by side with our law enforcement partners, to safeguard our communities and uphold the rule of law,” Liggins said.

Charles County Sheriff Troy D. Berry said in a statement, “While this was not the ending that we all hoped for, I am grateful to all those who worked so hard to find Ms. Guerra. On behalf of the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, I offer our most sincere condolences to all of her family and friends.”
The illegal immigration issue has been a flash point in Maryland recently.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., drew criticism for flying to El Salvador last week to defend Kilmar Abrego Garcia – an alleged illegal immigrant and MS-13 gang member who was deported. Reps. Robert Garcia of California, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Yassamin Ansari of Arizona and Maxine Dexter of Oregon then flew to El Salvador on Monday to support Garcia.
Patty Morin, whose daughter Rachel Morin was killed in Maryland by an illegal immigrant from El Salvador in 2023, called the visits “despicable.”
“They would rather champion his cause, a criminal, than the victim,” she told Fox News Digital. “Americans, and especially Marylanders, are outraged.”

Cher’s son heads to court over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home
The son of Cher is scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a hearing over allegations he broke into a New Hampshire home earlier this month.
It was the second arrest in a matter of days for Elijah Allman, 49, of Malibu, California, who was detained Feb. 27 after allegedly acting belligerently at a prestigious prep school in New Hampshire. It was unclear if Allman had any connection to either St. Paul’s School or the home in Windham, New Hampshire.
Allman remains in the Rockingham County Department of Corrections in what is called preventive detention, Superintendent Jonathan Banville said.
Allman, whose father was the late singer Gregg Allman, faces two counts of criminal mischief, one count of burglary and a count of breach of bail for breaking into the home on March 1. Police said in a report that Allman did not have permission to be at the home and forcibly entered it .
In the incident at the prep school, Allman was charged with four misdemeanors: two counts of simple assault, criminal trespass and criminal threatening. Allman was also charged with a violation of disorderly conduct, which is illegal in the state but not considered a crime.
At about 7 p.m. that day, Concord police responded to reports that Allman was disturbing people in the dining hall of St. Paul’s School. After charging Allman, police said he was released on bail as his case works through the court system.
Allman did not respond to an email requesting comment, and a phone number for him was not working. It was unclear from the court records if Allman has an attorney.
In December 2023, Cher filed a petition to become a temporary conservator overseeing her son’s money, saying Allman struggles with mental health issues and addiction have left him unable to manage his assets and potentially put his life in danger.
The petition from the singer and actress said Elijah Allman is entitled to regular payments from a trust fund. But “given his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues,” she is “concerned that any funds distributed to Elijah will be immediately spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself and putting Elijah’s life at risk,” the petition says.
A few weeks later, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jessica Uzcategui denied the request, saying she was not convinced that a conservatorship was urgently needed. Allman was in the courtroom with his his attorneys, who acknowledged his previous struggles but argued that he is in a good place now, attending meetings, getting treatment and reconciling with his previously estranged wife.

Heavy police presence prompts concern in South Jersey neighborhood
MILLVILLE, N.J. (WPVI) — Residents in a Millville, New Jersey, neighborhood spent hours trying to understand what was happening after a New Jersey State Police helicopter circled overhead, and troopers eventually entered a home while searching for a suspect.
Video from a Ring camera shows state police and officers in tactical gear taking over the front porch of a home on the 100 block of Third Street.
Officers are heard speaking into a doorbell camera moments before entering the residence.
A woman who lives in the home and did not want to be identified said she was at work at the time of the incident, but her son was inside when police surrounded the house. She said her son later described the encounter to her.
“My son was here, he was a little freaking out, they actually made him come out with his hands up and guns were drawn,” she said.
The woman said her son told her troopers explained they were pursuing someone on foot in the area.
“They just said they were on a foot pursuit and the guy was jumping the fences behind my house. A construction worker saw him go down my steps, but didn’t know where he went from there. That’s why they need to make sure everything is safe,” she said.
Nearby residents also noticed the heavy police activity.
Michele Brown of Bridgeton said she was walking her dogs when she saw officers in the area.
“It was a lot I didn’t understand what was going on,” Brown said.
Brown said the scene was alarming for people nearby.
“Definitely startling cause you see all these cops with their guns out, and you’re just looking like, ‘Whoa’,” she said.
Action News reached out to New Jersey State Police for more information, but we did not receive a response.
In a statement, Millville police say the suspect was not apprehended after fleeing state police on foot.
There is no suspected threat to the community, the department added.
