Illegal Migrant Beheads Dallas Motel Manager
Illegal Migrant Beheads Dallas Motel Manager
The News
An illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal history who was released under the Biden administration was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly beheading a motel manager in front of his family and kicking his head “like a soccer ball,” according to authorities and reports.
Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, 37, started an argument with his manager, Chandra Nagamallaiah, at a Downtown Suites motel in Dallas on Wednesday morning while cleaning a room with another employee at the motel, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by CBS News.
Nagmallaiah, 50, told the pair not to use a washing machine that was broken, but Cobos-Martinez, a Cuban national, grew irate over the manager enlisting the motel worker to translate the instructions instead of speaking to him in Spanish, the document said.
Surveillance footage then allegedly caught Cobos-Martinez leaving the room, pulling out a machete and slashing Nagmallaiah.
The manager bolted to the motel’s office, where his son and wife were, while still under attack, the affidavit detailed.
Nagamallaiah’s panicked wife and son tried to intervene, but Cobos-Martinez continued to slaughter him until his “head was removed from his body,” police said.
Cobos-Martinez then gruesomely kicked Nagamalliah’s head twice into the parking lot, picked it up and threw it in the dumpster, cops said.
Witnesses called 911 and found Cobos-Martinez covered in his slain manager’s blood and still holding the machete a few blocks away, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
He allegedly admitted to police during a video interview that he killed his manager, the outlet said.
Cobos-Martinez has been charged with capital murder and is being held without bond, according to court records.
Timeline
He had been in the custody of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations at the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Anson, but was released on Jan. 13 under the Biden administration, an ICE spokesperson told The Post.
Reactions
“This barbaric criminal was released because Cuba would not accept him because of his criminal history,” they said.
“Cobos-Martinez allegedly used a machete to behead a merchant he had an argument with in front of the merchant’s spouse and child,” the spokesperson added.
“Reportedly, Cobos-Martinez then kicked the head of the victims ‘around like a soccer ball.’ ICE has lodged the detainer with the Dallas County Jail, where this criminal illegal alien is being held. “
More
The maniac motel worker also has a laundry list of prior criminal charges.
Cobos-Martinez was charged with aggravated assault in 2018 in Harris County, but pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge and was sentenced to one year in jail, KHOU reported.
While he was facing charges in Harris County, authorities realized he was also wanted in California for carjacking, false imprisonment, and failure to appear, and he was extradited there to face charges.
In 2017, he was arrested in South Lake Tahoe for trying to carjack a 22-year-old woman while naked, according to KRNV.
