A Mexican immigrant who was in the United States illegally has been found guilty of murder in the brutal killing of a San Antonio college student.
Jared Vargas’s body was set on fire in an apartment in the city after being strangled by Ernesto Esquivel-Garcia, 20, who was arrested shortly after the June 2018 killing.
Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement have confirmed Esquivel-Garcia was in their custody twice but was never physically deported back to Mexico.
Vargas’ body was found three days after the killing when he had been reported missing after he left work at Bowl & Barrel at The Rim shopping center.
Esquivel-Garcia and Vargas had briefly worked together at the restaurant but prosecutors say he lied to police telling them he didn’t even know Vargas and knew nothing about the apartment fire that he had lit.
Prosecutors also revealed Esquivel-Garcia’s wife told police that her husband had confessed to her that he had killed Vargas for his car.
