HERNDON, Va. — A Maryland woman's alleged killer has pleaded guilty.
It all started back in July of 2024, when Jose Aguilar-Martinez stole 54-year-old Melody Waldecker's car outside of a Sterling, Virginia 7-Eleven.
While fleeing the scene, Martinez reportedly ran the woman over, killing her.
WJLA-ABC7 reports Martinez pleaded guilty to six charges including first-degree felony murder and robbery causing death.
The outlet also noted that Martinez is in the U.S. illegally, and that ICE, under former President Joe Biden's Administration, failed to issue a detainer after he's been arrested for public intoxication prior to the murder.
