An illegal immigrant from Haiti has been charged with killing two of his acquaintances, a crime he is alleged to have committed prior to deportation hearings.

The incident took place on April 1 afternoon in the area of 33 Ruth Court in Middletown, New York. “The initial report indicated that a male subject had been stabbed,” the City of Middletown Police Department said in an April 2 press release. When officers arrived at the scene, “they located two male subjects that had sustained multiple stab wounds.” One of the subjects was located inside 33 Ruth Court and was determined to have died. The other person, found on the sidewalk outside of 33 Ruth Court, was determined to have suffered serious injuries and transported to a hospital, where he succumbed during surgery.
