The press release stated that Alfredo-Diaz was illegally living in the Lewisburg area of Greenbrier County, and at the end of his sentence he will be given to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation proceedings.
According to the press release, Alfredo-Diaz was arrested in Lewisburg by ICE agents on August 21, 2024, and he revealed that he was in the U.S. illegally and was a Honduran citizen. Alfredo-Diaz also acknowledged that he was deported from the U.S. in the past and that he did not have any documents in his possession that would legally allow him to be in the U.S.
The press release stated that Alfredo-Diaz's fingerprints matched two previous removals from the U.S. to Honduras. He was removed from the U.S. on December 27, 2006 after a felony conviction for heroin possession on September 25, 2006 and felony cocaine possession on December 20, 2007, in Denver County, Colorado.

The announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney Lisa G. Johnston, who thanked the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for their work on the investigation.
