"This arrest has brought the family and community some peace."
An illegal immigrant from Guatemala has been arrested and charged for the murder of an 11-year-old Texas girl who was found dead in her home last week.
Juan Carlos Garcia Rodriguez, 18, was arrested in Louisiana on Saturday by the Shreveport Police Department. Rodriguez has been charged with capital murder and is waiting to be extradited back to Texas, according to KHOU.
The victim, Maria Gonzalez, was found dead by her father, Carmelo Gonzalez, on Aug. 12. Her body was hidden in a laundry bag hidden underneath her bed. Maria was also reportedly sexually assaulted by Rodriguez.
"This arrest has brought the family and community some peace," the Gonzalez family said in a statement, according to KHOU.
"We are extremely thankful that he cannot cause this type of pain to anybody again," the family said. "I ask for those who are in charge to give us justice. May he be burdened with the full with of the law for what he has done to my daughter."
According to police, Garcia-Rodriguez lived at the same apartment complex as the Gonzalez family. Officers located a key at the crime scene, which they believe is evidence that belongs to the suspect, whose DNA was swabbed at the scene.
On Monday, police interviewed Rogriguez, but he immediately vanished and informed his roommate he was leaving town for a job.
Garcia-Rodriguez had illegally entered the US through El Paso in January but had been granted release upon arrival due to having a sponsor located in Louisiana after he had turned himself into authorities.
Maria had moved to the United States with her father four years prior and had only been living in the complex for three months when she was killed.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
So what you’re really saying is stand by for more Trump indictments.

Hang him. It’s time to start making examples out of these monsters.
Another on of Biden’s finest the day he opened the border the death rates skyrocketed and climbing for years to come.
The democrat party take a bow.
The got him in office no real voted required
Poor little girl, only God knows what deeds will go undone what path her life would have taken. May her family find comfort and healing.
Doing jobs Americans just won’t do (typed in my best Bush Jr voice)
My thoughts exactly!
Burn him to death over three or four days.
And the father too. Finding his own daughter’s body.
I saw an old western movie over the weekend where an Indian captured a white man who was a scalp bounty hunter a that had killed his family.
He hung him bound and gagged upside down over a small fire, about 3 or 4 feet above the flames........
Yes. What kind of a monster would treat a child like that, like trash?
He will fit right in at prison although I hope he gets the death penalty and doesn’t stay there long.
I am so sick of these illegals. The ones that can’t be hung should be loaded onto a plane and dropped off in Zambia or Central African Republic.
If somehow they make it back to get caught a second time they should be dropped off in Somalia with a broiled chicken surgically attached to their back.
Some of that new and improved America diversity strength. Americans can learn a lot from the Socialist “refugee” invaders.
Express lane for immediate execution in Texas!
Who’s the “racists” now? It sure as hell ain’t any gringo supremacists.
That reminds me of the time nothing could bring a smile on the face of George W Bush as quickly as his talk of increasing immigration.
Or Jeb Bush saying that the “aspirational youth of Central America could come and rebuild our cities.” Yes, rebuild our cities like the alabaster cities they created in Central America. That quote is from one of the debates.
“...come and rebuild our cities.”
They did......................
Ok. But why was he arrested?
