Immigrations and Customs Enforcement arrested a Vietnamese illegal immigrant after he was released from prison for murdering a Texas woman 30 years ago.
Nahn Tu Hoang killed then-32-year-old Sarah "Kathy" Arceneaux at her home in Port Arthur, Texas, on Feb. 29, 1996 when he shot her five times, according to ICE.
She was killed when Hoang and a group of friends went out drinking and decided to rob homes in the Port Arthur area, the agency said.
According to court documents, "Hoang testified that as he was walking to the front of the house, he was startled by a woman leaning over her dog. Hoang testified he was scared and started shooting. Hoang shot the woman five times, killing her."
ICE called it a "horrific, tragic story" in a post on X announcing the arrest.
He was taken into custody by ICE on May 5 after being released from prison and is being held pending deportation.
