Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown said Friday afternoon that Wood's death was not a random act but narcotics-related, according to a press release.

The motorist who found Wood's body on Roaring Run Road saw a Honda Accord with one occupant drive by at a high rate of speed towards Rte 221, according to authorities.

A responding deputy met the Honda near Virginia Memorial Park on Rte 221 and the driver of the Honda identified himself as Rodas.

While talking with Rodas, the deputy learned that he was an illegal alien. Rodas was then detained and taken to the Sheriff's Office.

According to the statement, deputies contacted US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tuesday morning.

Shortly after contacting ICE, the Sheriff's Office learned that there was a report of a missing 17-year-old teenager from Lynchburg, who was later identified as Raymond Wood.

On Tuesday afternoon, the Medical Examiner identified the body found as Wood, who was reported missing a day before.

The same day, a Bedford County resident called the police to report that two Hispanic males approached him and asked him to make a call for them with his cell phone.

A small sports car, driven by a Hispanic male, showed up and picked the two males up, according to the resident.

Authorities immediately put out a description of the car, which led deputies to find it on Rte 221. The vehicle was occupied by three Hispanic males.

Two of the three occupants in the car, including Corea-Ventura, who is wanted for a murder in Maryland, were determined to be illegal aliens, police said.

ICE arrived at Bedford County and detained Rodas and Vasquez and transported them to Roanoke City Jail.

Corea-Ventura was taken to Blue Ridge Regional Jail and held on the Maryland murder charge. The driver of the vehicle was not detained.
