An illegal immigrant, who was back in the country after being deported in 2016, is being charged in the murder of a convenience store clerk during an armed robbery in Houston.
Jose Bonilla-Ortiz, 18, was arrested on Saturday in the fatal, Nov. 10 shooting of 48-year-old Faruk Bhuiya, according to local KTRK-TV.
Bonilla-Ortiz was caught on surveillance video entering the convenience store with another unidentified man, the station reported.
Bonilla-Ortiz and Bhuiya struggled over a security door that the Bhuiya tried to close, according to prosecutors.
Then, Bonilla-Ortiz fired once and struck Bhuiya in the face, who then died at the scene.
Bhuiya’s widow, Phyllis Bhuiya, offered her sympathy for the suspect’s mother, according to The Houston Chronicle.
“I feel bad for this boy’s mother. His life is ruined. Ruined for nothing, absolutely nothing,” Bhuiya said.
However, Bhuiya wants Bonilla-Ortiz to pay for the crime.
“I want him punished for what he did. He didn’t just take my husband. He took someone’s son, someone’s stepfather,” she said. “He wasn’t just my husband. He was a lot of things to a lot of people.”
Bonilla-Ortiz, who is being held at a $250,000 bond, was previously deported two years ago, according to the Chronicle.
He is originally from Honduras , KTRK reported.
