Latino accused of killing a Muslim teenager with a baseball bat in Virginia is an illegal immigrant

The Hispanic, Darwin Martinez Torres, who was charged with murder in the death of Nabra Hassanen, 17, is believed to be from El Salvador, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman said. According to the police, Darwin Martinez Torres had a dispute with a member of a group of Muslim teenagers whom Hassanen was walking with on their way back from suhoor (an Islamic term referring to the meal consumed early in the morning by Muslims before fasting, sawm, before dawn during or outside the Islamic month of Ramadan) at IHOP around 4 a.m. Torres then followed the group, first in his car and then on foot, striking Hassanen with a metal baseball bat and taking her with him when he left the scene. An hour later, he was arrested. The young woman’s lifeless body was found in a nearby pond.
