Illegal immigrants accused of murder in Virginia Beach


Posted on Dec 31, 2009

A man is dead and another in critical condition after a shootout in Virginia Beach.  Two men, both illegal immigrants, have been arrested in relation to the case.

 

Virginia Beach police have arrested Jorge Alberto Fuertes Loredo, 31, and Isidor Loredo Amaya, 31, on charges of murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.  Immigration and Customs Enforcement have placed a hold on the men.  Their hearing is scheduled for early February.

 

The deceased man, Florentino Martinez-Melendez, 40, was shot to death by the men in a trailer part after a heated argument.  The second victim was also shot but survived, although he is in critical condition.  Both victims are also illegal immigrants.

 

According to the Virginia Beach Commonwealth Attorney Harvey Bryant, Loredo and Amaya have been living in Virginia for a while.  They have lived in the state for the past ten years, splitting their time between Harrisburg and Virginia Beach.

 

If convicted, the men face deportment for their crime.  It is not known what will happen to the surviving victim when he recovers from his injuries.
