The brother of the illegal immigrant arrested in connection with the killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley has been taken into custody for possessing a fake green card.
Diego Ibarra, 29, was charged after he was stopped by police in connection with the ongoing murder investigation, the US Attorney for the Middle District of Georgia said.
He is now in state custody, jail records show.
Diego’s younger brother, 26-year-old Jose Antonio Ibarra, is also being held on multiple charges — including malice murder — related to Riley’s death.
