Immigration Status Of Vanessa Marcotte’s Alleged Killer Still Cloudy

LEOMINSTER — What is crystal-clear is that Vanessa Marcotte's alleged killer was held on $10 million bail following his not guilty plea Tuesday morning on charges that include aggravated assault, aggravated assault and battery, and assault with intent to rape.  

What is still cloudy, however, is Angel Colon-Ortiz's immigration status. According to his defense attorney, Edward Ryan Jr., Colon-Ortiz arrived in Worcester from Puerto Rico in May 2016 and "within two weeks he was fully employed."
