ICE records or an official agency statement confirm an arrest detainer was lodged for Aristides Eli Orellana‑Ramirez in connection with the double homicide charges.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s official case update states that detectives identified Aristides Eli Orellana‑Ramirez as a suspect in a December 20, 2025 homicide case in Charlotte in which two victims, 16‑year‑old Bravlio Galeano Ayala and 18‑year‑old Samir Canales Molina, were shot and later died, and that he was arrested and charged with murder and shooting into an occupied dwelling. Local reporting from Queen City News (via Yahoo) describes the incident as a “South Charlotte double homicide,” noting that both teenagers died from the shooting on Farmhurst Drive and that Orellana‑Ramirez is charged with murder and discharging a firearm into an occupied property. WBTV’s January 12 article reports that court records show Orellana‑Ramirez was arrested on January 8, 2026, in connection with the shooting that killed the two teens and that he was being held on an ICE detainer. A follow‑up WBTV story on January 14 further specifies that an arrest detainer was placed on Orellana‑Ramirez and that he was charged with murder and shooting into an occupied dwelling for the deaths of both Ayala and Molina. Taken together, these sources show that ICE lodged an arrest detainer for Aristides Eli Orellana‑Ramirez and that he is charged in connection with a Charlotte incident in which two teenagers were killed, so the statement is True because it accurately reflects both the ICE detainer and his charges in the double‑homicide case.
