After Nearly Two Months, An Illegal Alien Has Been Arrested For The Murder Of Two Alabama Teens Whose Bodies Were Discovered In A Wooded Area Near Percy Priest Lake Close To Nashville.
23-year-old Josue Hernandez-Moxje was arrested in Kenner, Louisiana and then extradited back to Nashville. He is charged with two counts of criminal homicide for the shooting deaths of 18-year-old Jamie Valdez-Garcia and 19-year-old Amir Landan Wilkerson.
Police were notified on Monday, April 28, that a resident had found the bodies on Army Corps of Engineers property while walking a trail between the Lincoya Bay Apartments and Percy Priest Lake. Both victims had several gunshot wounds.
According to police, the two teens traveled from Alabaster, Alabama, to Nashville on Sunday. Their reason for the trip was unknown and no motive has been released at this time.
The investigation into the double homicide was led by Metro Nashville Police Department’s Homicide and Specialized Investigations Division. They were assisted by federal ATF and Homeland Security agents.
Hernandez-Moxje was identified as a suspect, and officers entered his license plate into a nationwide database. A license plate reader in Kenner, Louisiana, hit on the number and he was arrested on June 6 by Kenner police. He was held on outstanding warrants from Nashville for domestic assault, theft, and bad checks.
Hernandez-Moxje was returned to Nashville on Tuesday night. Police say evidence linking him to the double homicide was found in his vehicle, and he will face charges.
Inmate records now show that Hernandez-Moxje, a native of Honduras, has an ICE hold. He will remain in custody until he is released to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An immigration detainer hold most likely means he is in this country illegally.
