Illinois prison officials released an illegal alien from Mexico on parole after he served time for a drunk-driving crash that killed a Marine veteran, refusing to honor an ICE detainer and failing to notify federal authorities, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
Vicente Torres-Vasquez was arrested at large by ICE days later.
Torres-Vasquez caused a fatal crash on July 24, 2011, in Wauconda, Illinois, while driving under the influence.
The illegal alien struck and killed 55-year-old Gregory Errol Homola, a Marine Corps veteran riding a motorcycle. He was a father of five.
Two women in another vehicle were also injured.
Torres-Vasquez was convicted in 2012 of aggravated DUI resulting in death and two counts of aggravated DUI resulting in great bodily injury. He received a 25-year prison sentence.
