New Charges Filed Against Illegal Immigrant Who Killed Kate Steinle

Share:

The illegal immigrant who killed Kate Steinle in 2015 and was found last week not guilty of murder or manslaughter was indicted on a new set of charges Tuesday.

Mexican-born Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, who had been deported from the U.S. five times and convicted of several felonies, was acquitted Thursday of first- and second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges. But Garcia Zarate wasn’t quite off the hook.

“A federal grand jury indicted Jose Inez Garcia Zarate today for being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and for being an illegally present alien in possession of a firearm and ammunition,” the Justice Department said in a statement.

The statement noted that Garcia Zarate is being held in custody. If convicted on either charge, he could be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
