Haitian Immigrant Charged with Murder of Roommates in New York

The suspect was apprehended and is awaiting a deportation hearing, amid criticism of federal immigration policies.

A Haitian illegal immigrant, Kenol Baptiste, has been charged with the murder of his two roommates in Middletown, New York.
The victims, also Haitian immigrants, were stabbed to death in their apartment complex, with one found inside and another on the sidewalk.
Baptiste was apprehended by police with the assistance of a K-9 unit and is currently in ICE custody, awaiting a deportation hearing.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus attributes the incident to failures in federal immigration policies under the Biden administration.
The brutal killings have shocked the local community, particularly as Baptiste was described as kind and mild-mannered with no history of violence.
