Overview

  • David Hector Rivas-Sagastume, a 21-year-old undocumented immigrant from Honduras, has been charged with malice murder, rape, aggravated sexual battery, and necrophilia in the death of Camillia Williams, a 52-year-old mother of five in Georgia.
  • Rivas-Sagastume allegedly killed Williams by choking her unconscious and using his full body weight on her neck, according to an arrest warrant, before disposing of her body in a wooded area.
  • The suspect entered the U.S. illegally in 2021, was released after being apprehended by Border Patrol, and failed to comply with a 2023 deportation order, highlighting systemic immigration enforcement failures.
  • ICE has lodged an immigration detainer to ensure Rivas-Sagastume remains in custody for removal proceedings following his prosecution.
  • The case has intensified criticism of the Biden administration’s immigration policies, with parallels drawn to the 2024 murder of another Georgia woman by an undocumented immigrant.
