Summary
ICE on Friday asked Texas authorities not to release Jefferson Adonay Velasquez-Torres, 18, without notifying the agency after he was charged in two Houston murder cases.
The latest charge stems from an April 27 shooting outside a Houston nightclub that killed 27-year-old Noah Ramirez and wounded two others, according to local reports.
A June murder charge already accused Velasquez-Torres of involvement in an August 2025 house-party shooting that killed 17-year-old Angel Garcia; a second suspect, Enrique Aguilar, 19, was also arrested.
DHS said Velasquez-Torres entered the U.S. illegally as a minor in 2014 and is now being held in Harris County Jail without bond, while also facing weapon and aggravated robbery charges.
