Murder suspect – an illegal with driver's license
24-year-old previously deported, now faces 41 counts
A 24-year-old Mexican charged with the Oregon murder of a father and
the shooting of his 16-year-old son in a home-invasion robbery is an
illegal alien with an Oregon driver's license who has been previously
deported from the United States.
Juan Carlos Solis is awaiting trial on 41 counts of aggravated murder,
attempted aggravated murder, attempted murder, assault in the first
degree, robbery in the first degree, robbery in the second degree and
burglary in the first degree, along with at least three other suspects
in the July 2004 home-invasion robbery of 12 farm workers.
Solis and the other suspects are facing trial for the shooting death
of Paco Chavez-Tena and the wounding of his 16-year old in their home
west of Hermiston, Ore. The perpetrators were masked and armed.
Others charged in the crime include Jesus Pineda-Cruz, 38, Margarito
Morfin, 21, and Ever Alexis Flores, 24.
After shooting Chavez-Tena, 38, and wounding his son, the suspects
stole cash and cell phones.
