WARRENTON, VA - The death toll inflicted by illegal aliens continues unabated, with The New York Post reporting that an illegal alien from El Salvador has been charged in the stabbing death of a Virginia man, who stumbled into a stranger’s home after being stabbed, police said.
The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office says that Jose Velasquez-Martinez, 27, is accused of stabbing Brandon Probst, 29, in the neck after they got into an altercation outside a woman’s home in Warrenton.
Probst staggered into the house, where he was found bleeding from the neck by the homeowner at around 10:00 p.m. on March 27. The homeowner, who didn’t know Probst, called 911, and he was rushed to a local hospital and succumbed to his wounds. A criminal complaint said the suspect “used a knife to stab and cut Probst in the neck and chest.”
Days later, Velasquez-Martinez was arrested at a Front Royal Hotel in Augusta County, where he was charged with murder and malicious wounding, authorities said.
According to Fox News Digital, the sheriff’s office said that its Criminal Investigations Division “has been working around the clock since the suspicious death that occurred east of Linden, Virginia, during the night of March 27, 2025.”
Sheriff Jeremy Falls is “appreciative of the hard work demonstrated by our detectives and the collaboration with the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Smith,” the sheriff’s office said.
According to an ICE spokesperson, the suspect “illegally entered the United States on an unknown date in 2011, at an unknown location, and without being inspected, admitted, or paroled by a U.S. immigration official,” they told Fox 5 DC. This date would have been before he would have received DACA status, a program implemented by Obama that began on June 15, 2012.
The homeowner, whom Law Enforcement Today will not identify, told the outlet the stabbing is a reflection of a bigger problem in the area.
“I think there’s a lot of illegal immigrants here,” she said. “I think some are here honestly trying to make a better life for themselves, but unfortunately, among those are people like this [the suspect] that we come across.”
Velasquez-Martinez was arraigned in Fauquier County General District Court and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on July 2. According to Fauquier Now, he is incarcerated at the Fauquier County Adult Detention Center.
