TUCSON - A 28-year-old man accused of driving drunk and killing an 18-year-old man in an accident on the south side has been in the country illegally for years with a checkered criminal history.
News 4 Tucson learned that Juan Miguel Hernandez-Rodriguez, who was arrested and booked into the Pima County Jail on Saturday, also had an immigration hold placed on him.
Hernandez-Rodriguez faces four felony charges, including 2nd degree murder, after a fiery accident on 6th Avenue near the rodeo grounds.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials confirmed that Hernandez-Rodriguez is a Mexican national and was previously detained at the Florence Detention Center in May 2009 after his first encounter with Border Patrol.
In June 2009, a judge with the Department of Justice granted Hernandez-Rodriguez immigration bond and was released from custody. His removal case remains pending in immigration court in Tucson.
Hernandez-Rodriguez was previously arrested in 2007 for theft in Maricopa County. In 2010, South Tucson Police arrested him for possession of marijuana and he was also cited for a criminal traffic violation back in 2011.
Court records show that Hernandez-Rodriguez was offered diversion sentencing, which he didn't finish.
The accident Hernandez-Rodriguez is accused of causing resulted in the death of Wilberto Llanes.
Jovani Ruiz is outraged. His cousin, Wilberto Llanes, was killed in the crash and he claims the accident could have been prevented had authorities followed up on Hernandez-Rodriguez's criminal activity and deported him.
"This definitely could have been prevented... if they would have just done their job right the first time," Ruiz said.
Ruiz wants the Hernandez-Rodriguez to claim responsibility.

These illegals are shielded and protected by Obama and now that this low life criminal got drunkn decided to drink and drive in doing so he killed somebody. Hernandez-Rodriguez's removal case remains pending in immigration court...So it seems they want to deport him and dismiss all charges. I do not see any churches,supporters, illegals coming forward to talk about this death.Him and his family matterb not they are from this side of the border.Washington does not care.Drunk driving by illegal aliens are minor crimes.It is pointed an American did it,so it's ok for the illegal to do it
Must be their country.
Yep. A nation betrayed. At this point, I would have no objection to seeing many of them take a trip in a tumbrel.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Illegal-aliens-killing-Americans PING
Megyn Kelly tried to cut of Kris Kobach when he said we should deport people if they are a.illegal and b. probably committed a crime.
They shouldn’t risk them skipping bail.
In the words of John Boehner. If an illegal looks like an ahole just deport them.

The mayor of Boston complained Dreamers who stole cars were getting deported.
Mumbles was doing a TV interview in which he talked about how hed turned against the Secure Communities program, which is supposed to take violent dreamers off the street ...
If there is a god, it was an illegal alien who stole Angela Meninos rented SUV the other night in Readville.
This is multi culturalism. In Mexico, if they bother to get a license that is, and they have it taken away for convictions, they do not bother to get a new license. And so it is here. as we see. Why not American Culture, come legally, Speak English or get the hell out!
...and the kids who no fault of their own were brought here are their parents responsibility, not mine. Adios to the whole family.
Paging Charles Bronson. People in Tucson need you to do a job they won't do.
CLAIMS?? The reporter sounds skeptical.
The people in control are not representing us
Well surprise, surprise, surprise. Imagine that, and “illegal alien”, who would have ever guessed?
Crimmigration kills.
