Source summary
A YouTube short posted Jan. 29, 2026 alleges that a person who had previously been deported and had two prior DUI charges killed a 61-year-old man in North Carolina. The short presents that claim but does not, by itself, provide corroborating details such as names, exact location, or official police confirmation.

Latest fact check

DHS/ICE and multiple local reports state the suspect, identified as Wilmer Fuentes Mejia (aka Werner Orosco-Clemente), had prior arrests for DUI; DHS specifically reports his criminal history included two previous arrests for driving under the influence. Therefore the claim that the suspect had "two DUI charges" is supported by official DHS reporting and contemporaneous local coverage. Verdict: True — official DHS/ICE statements and local reporting corroborate the two prior DUI arrests.
