MOUNT AIRY -- Authorities say the suspect in the killing of four men outside a North Carolina store was in the U.S. illegally and had been deported before.
Federal immigration officials told The Mount Airy News that Marcos Gonzalez, 26, was sent out of the county in 2007 after serving a prison sentence for kidnapping.
Gonzalez is charged with four counts of murder in the Nov. 1 shootings in the parking lot of a television store in Mount Airy.
Police Chief Dale Watson says he was disturbed to find out Gonzalez was deported after committing a violet crime.
Investigators haven't determined exactly what caused the shooting, but they don't think the victims were chosen at random.
