A Houston musician has been murdered by an illegal alien who had been allowed to stay in the United States, even though the alien had been convicted in Texas previously for selling narcotics. The suspect was killed by police following a second murder that he committed immediately after killing the musician.

The illegal alien’s name was Victor Manuel Reyes. Court records indicate the alien was sentenced to five years for drug dealing in 2010 and had an immigration hold upon exiting prison. It is unclear at this time if he was deported and immediately came back in across the porous Texas-Mexico border or if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) simply failed to pick him up and deport him, as is often the case. In such instances, the jails or prisons simply release the criminal alien into the U.S. if ICE does not show up.

The musician, Spencer Golvach, had reportedly dropped off his girlfriend and was waiting at a red light when he was randomly targeted by the illegal alien and murdered.

The victim’s father spoke to local outlet KPRC and said, “I want to know why a convicted drug pusher who served time in prison that’s not a legal citizen was unleashed upon our streets.”
