Teen illegal immigrant arrested in connection to murder, mutilation of California man found in car

A teenage suspect, who authorities say was in the country illegally, was arrested for allegedly killing a man and dismembering his body in Fresno County.

An 18-year-old illegal immigrant was arrested in connection to the murder of a California man that was found mutilated inside his car back in January, the Fresno County Sheriff's Office announced. 

On Friday, April 5, homicide detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office arrested the teen for the murder of 25-year-old Fraylee Hernandez, of Mendota. 

Detectives said they determined the suspect, whose name they did not release due to him being in the juvenile court system, was an illegal immigrant from El Salvador. 

While also being in the country illegally, detectives added that the teen is also on probation for assaulting his mother.
