More than 10 months after a Maryland mother of five was killed while out on a run, authorities on Saturday said they brought murder and rape charges against a Salvadoran man who is in the country illegally and has ties to international gang MS-13.
Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler said Victor Antonio Martinez Hernandez, 23, was taken into custody Friday by police in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Police said the suspect will be extradited back to Harford County to face charges in the August 2023 death of Rachel Morin.
Mr. Hernandez is also wanted for a January 2023 homicide in El Salvador, the sheriff said. He crossed into the U.S. illegally in February of that same year, and in March 2023 was tied to a home invasion and assault in Los Angeles that left a mother and a young girl injured.
