Police have arrested a man suspected to have killed and sexually assaulted Maryland woman Rachel Morin last year.
The Harford County Sheriff’s Office announced June 15 that with the help of federal law enforcement, Victor Martinez-Hernandez was taken into custody in Tulsa, Ok. on suspicion of murder as well as rape in connection with the 2023 killing of the 37-year-old, a mother of five.
“So far, we have learned that the suspect, now pictured on the screens, is a 23-year-old citizen of El Salvador who illegally crossed the border into the United States in February of 2023,” Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler said at a press conference, later adding, “The charges in the case are first-degree murder and first-degree rape.”
Martinez-Hernandez was booked into a Tulsa County jail just after midnight June 15 and is set to be extradited to Maryland, Gahler said. The suspect was also put on an ICE hold to await possible transfer to custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to legal records obtained by E! News. He is being held without bond on a fugitive from justice complaint. No lawyer was listed for him.
