ICE Detainer Issued for Lynn Murder Suspect

Eric Dionida German-Pena, a 25-year-old Dominican national, has been charged with the murder of Ilias Mavros, a sandwich shop owner in Lynn, Massachusetts. Mavros was discovered dead with signs of trauma during a well-being check at his home. German-Pena, who entered the U.S. illegally in September 2022, faces an immigration detainer from ICE Boston, indicating plans to take him into custody after legal proceedings. He pleaded not guilty and is held without bail, with a court appearance scheduled for March 6. ICE emphasizes its commitment to public safety by focusing on removing individuals charged with severe crimes. Mavros's death has prompted community support, with a fundraiser exceeding $17,000 to assist his family.
