A known MS-13 gang member who was in the US illegally was allowed to enroll at a Maryland public high school even when he was already the
main suspect in the rape and murder of a woman with autism, according to a report about the killer now serving a 70-year sentence.
Walter Martinez was 16 when he was able to attend classes at Edgewood High School in Harford County for several months in late 2022 as cops probed the gruesome death of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton,
Fox45 reported.
The gang banger — who had
entered the US illegally from El Salvador just months before the slaying — had been identified as the main perp immediately after Hamilton’s body was discovered raped, strangled and bound inside her trailer on July 27, 2022, according to authorities.
Under Maryland law, authorities — including immigration officials — weren’t required to inform administrators of his suspect status because the teen hadn’t yet been charged.
“It makes me angry,” the victim’s mom, Tammy Nobles, told the outlet. “You’re sitting there putting this monster into high school with other people’s children, and you’re putting children at risk. Look what he did to Kayla.”
“Why did you put him in a public school? I want to know why,” she continued. “Somebody needs to be held accountable.”
