Illegal immigrant confesses to 2 cold-blooded murders months apart: report

An illegal immigrant is facing a slew of charges after he reportedly confessed to two separate murders in North Carolina that occurred months apart. Angelvis Jesus Quintero Fernandez, 22, was taken into custody in Charlotte on Monday following an unrelated traffic stop, according to WBTV. After speaking with investigators, Fernandez was reportedly charged with first-degree murder stemming from the alleged shooting of Ludvin Antonio Guzman Morales, 44, earlier this year.

Authorities allege Morales was watching a fight on Central Avenue on Saturday, Jan. 24, when he tried to kick one of the suspects as the altercation moved further down the roadway, WBTV reported.
