ICE urges North Carolina to keep illegal immigrant charged in triple-fatal hit-and-run behind bars

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is asking authorities in North Carolina to keep an illegal immigrant charged in a deadly hit-and-run that killed three people behind bars.

Javiel Pena Sola, a Salvadoran citizen, allegedly struck and killed three people traveling in a vehicle on July 18 in Salisbury before he fled the scene. He was found with the help of a police K-9, ICE said.

Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene, while a third was airlifted to a hospital where they later died.
