Francisco Mendez-Marin, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico, was arrested March 18 by the Carrolton Police Department and is charged with felony homicide after he allegedly killed his wife, 20-year-old Karla Rangel, during a domestic dispute.

The couple had been married for less than a month, FOX 4 Dallas reported.
When police arrived at the scene, Mendez-Marin had blood on his clothes and a bloody pocketknife on him, officials said.

Body camera footage shows Mendez-Marin telling officers, "I didn't do anything bad" and "I was obligated to do it" in Spanish, according to the arrest affidavit.

"ICE requested authorities in Dallas to not release this cold-blooded killer onto the streets," she continued.

"Thankfully, Dallas politicians cooperate with ICE, so together we can ensure this murderer is NEVER loose in American communities."
