President Donald Trump says the killing of Chandra Mouli Nagamallaiah in Dallas, Texas is a “terrible” crime and the result of immigration enforcement failures.
The Truth Social post names 37-year-old Yordanis Cobos-Martinez, a Cuban national with a history of arrests in the U.S. Trump says the crime was carried out by an “illegal alien from Cuba who should have never been in our country.”
Cobos-Martinez allegedly attacked Nagamallaiah with a machete at a downtown motel, stabbing and beheading him in front of his wife and son. Witnesses say the violence began after a dispute over a broken washing machine and a language barrier.
