Driver accused of killing WSP trooper in I-5 crash is Mexican citizen 'unlawfully' in US

The man accused of hitting and killing a Washington State Patrol trooper on I-5 in Marysville early Saturday morning is a citizen of Mexico living in the United States "unlawfully," according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The 32-year-old man, with a Lynnwood address, is being held on charges related to vehicular homicide.

He "entered the U.S. at an unknown date and time, without admission or parole by an immigration officer, and was first encountered by (Enforcement and Removal Operations) Seattle Oct. 28, 2013, at the South Correctional Entity, Burien, WA, following his arrest for failure to appear for driving while license suspended," ICE said.

KOMO News is not naming the man because he has not been formally charged for the trooper's death.
