Illegal immigrant suspect in fatal hit-and-run arrested 800 miles from crime scene on bus headed to Mexico

U.S. Marshals have located and detained the suspect in a fatal Illinois hit-and-run in a Texas town south of Dallas.

A 27-year-old Mexican citizen, Juan Jahaziel Saenz-Suarez, residing in Urbana, Illinois, is facing charges for allegedly colliding with Chloe Polzin, 21, and Katherine Abraham, 20, in Urbana on Jan. 19 just before 2 a.m.

Authorities identified Saenz-Suarez as the registered owner of a red Mitsubishi Outlander involved in the fatal accident through investigative efforts. A warrant for his arrest was issued on Jan. 20, as indicated in a press release by Urbana police on Wednesday.

The U.S. Marshals Service successfully located Saenz-Suarez in Milford, Texas, situated about an hour south of Dallas. Saenz-Suarez was apprehended while aboard an El Expreso bus bound for Matamoros, Mexico, according to law enforcement officials.

The USMS noted that Saenz-Suarez had previously been deported from the United States one time.

“This type of partnership is essential to local law enforcement, and I would like to thank the women and men of the Urbana Police Department and the US Marshals Service for their efforts in capturing Saenz-Suarez,” Urbana Police Chief Larry D. Boone said in a Wednesday statement.
