Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County investigators arrested an illegal immigrant from Honduras in connection with the death of a 64-year-old woman Tuesday.
Julio Cesar Ramos, 45, who claims to be homeless and unemployed, is charged with beating Paulette Locklear outside her house Tuesday afternoon. He was being held without bond Wednesday in the Cumberland County Detention Center.
Investigators said Ramos had been deported at least a dozen times over the last 20 years but kept getting back into the U.S. Barbara Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Charlotte, could confirm only one deportation – from Houston in 1988 – and neither she nor local authorities could say what felony charges prompted the deportation.
Locklear and her family befriended Ramos, and she even let him live in a small building behind her house, at 1213 Wilmington Highway, said her brother, Paul Brewington, and nephew, Jeremy Brewington.
"The family just helped him any way we could," Jeremy Brewington said. "He would come and help us work, and we would pay him. He's just been sort of part of the family for a long time."

Unemployed. Sounds like he wasn’t one of our economic saviors that the OBL claims them to be.
I live in Smithfield, NC, a bit north of where this crime took place. Illegals here have killed at least 5 people in the last 2 years in car accidents alone.
Our worthless governor has done absolutely NOTHING about this problem. Wal Mart in Smithfield is like Little Mexico.
Another reason I am going to retire in Wyoming.
Houston, we have a problem
Now we will pay his room and board for the rest of his worthless life, probally a million bucks before his appeals run out etc.
I’ve asked this question before and it killed the thread. Hope it doesn’t again. If someone commits a crime and as a result someone dies, that person is charged with murder. How are the govt. leaders who promote sanctuary cities (in violation of the law) not held to that standard? If an illegal is here through the promotion of lawlessness by a state or local government, is it any different than if someone promoted another lawless act that resulted in a death? And finally, at what point are citizens compelled to take action against those who promote this in order to protect their fellow citizens?
“I live in Smithfield, NC, a bit north of where this crime took place.” We have camped there in our RV on t2o occasions. Lovely area and place but we noticed a very high poopulation of Hispanics. Almost as many as we have here in AZ.
We, too, have a large number of deaths attributed to them. NO darn need for it.
BTW, isn’t it interesting that the dems are bit*hing about them leaving because the rich aren’t (can’t afford to) employing them? Trickle up works for dems but trickle down doesn’t, RIGHT?
Indeed. And which political dynasty family is based in Houston, and is a huge part of this problem?
I always say that businesses that hire illegals should be held responsible for the criminal they enable. I recently read that Days Inn is facing a huge lawsuit that is the result of a muder at the hands of one of their illegal employees.
Budget cut note: Reverse the illegal bailout.
Democrats are professional cry babies... especially when it comes to ‘minority causes’ and ‘the rich’. One good aspect of this economic crisis is that it will drive many illegals back to Mexico.
