SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Federal authorities say a man suspected of killing two deputies during a shooting rampage in California was deported twice and has a drug conviction.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman said Saturday that fingerprints of the suspected shooter confirm he was first deported to Mexico in 1997 after being convicted in Arizona for drug possession. He was arrested and repatriated to Mexico again in 2001.
Sacramento County sheriff’s authorities said the suspect identified himself as 34-year-old Marcelo Marquez of Salt Lake City. However, federal officials say his fingerprints match the biometric records for a Luis Enrique Monroy-Bracamonte.
The suspect’s wife is also in custody following the shooting rampage that left two deputies dead and two people wounded.
