Immigrations and Customs Enforcement arrested a Vietnamese illegal immigrant after he was released from prison for murdering a Texas woman 30 years ago.
Nahn Tu Hoang killed then-32-year-old Sarah “Kathy” Arceneaux at her home in Port Arthur, Texas, on Feb. 29, 1996 when he shot her five times, according to ICE.
She was killed when Hoang and a group of friends went out drinking and decided to rob homes in the Port Arthur area, the agency said.
