[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 767767, member: 12952"] A fatal federal red-tape delay may have left a suspected illegal alien accused of gunning down two people at a Lawrence birthday party free to roam the country while awaiting a March 2011 deportation hearing, the Herald has learned. Dominican immigrant Fernando Guerrero-Lara, 27, was awaiting a March 7 preliminary removal hearing in U.S. Immigration Court in Harlingen, Texas, when authorities say he and a second triggerman unleashed a bullet bloodbath at a Labor Day birthday bash at La Guira Restaurant on Broadway in Lawrence. Guerrero-Lara, charged in Texas with violating immigration law, was scheduled to appear at a so-called master calendar hearing on March 7, a preliminary step toward deportation, said Kathryn Mattingly, a spokeswoman for the Executive Office for Immigration Review. In addition to killing Juan Suazo of Hyde Park, the gunplay Tuesday claimed the life of Amarilis Roldan of Dorchester, a medical assistant with a 3-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter who was shot in the back of the head while saving her sister’s life. Both Roldan and Suazo were just 24 years old. Lali Arias, 22, a relative of Roldan’s, expressed outrage that Guerrero-Lara had not been held in custody in the Lone Star State. “People come to this country to make a better life, but she was killed by a guy who just didn’t care if he hurt innocent people,” said Arias. Arias said Roldan rarely went out at night, but decided to join her sister, Arias’ uncle - who is married to Roldan’s mother - and a few others for some fun. “They were there just having a good time when they suddenly heard shots, and she told her sister to get down,” Arias said of Roldan. “She was just hit by a stray bullet.” [/QUOTE]
