Even more disturbing is that fact that other migrants have been killed in the community as well:

The death of Mr. Perez followed at least two other suspicious and unsolved homicides of illegal immigrants in recent years. Santos Bojorguez, 33, was found strangled here in 2003, and Robert Martinez, 42, was killed the same way in 2004.

This case goes to show the sort of terror that migrants in these communities live in.  Worst of all they don't have the voice to defend themselves and as a result these murders go unpunished.  I pray for justice in the case of these three men.
