Mexican who killed motorcyclist in Dallas caught trying to re-enter Texas at border

A Mexican national convicted in the 2011 death of a motorcyclist in Dallas was arrested on Saturday January 6, trying to illegally re-enter the USA, officials said.

“Border Patrol agents followed footprints through a ranch south of Brackettville, near the Texas-Mexico border, and apprehended Alejandro Pardo-Castro, a Mexican ex convict”, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.

Pardo-Castro, 34, was convicted of criminally negligent homicide in February 2012 in the death of Waxahachie resident Modena Dollison.

Dollison, 43, was riding her motorcycle without a helmet on State Highway 161 near Interstate 20 when a pickup turned left in front of her and hit her. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Police at the time said Pardo-Castro had no driver’s license and was in the U.S. illegally.

He was sentenced to 18 months in prison and deported to Mexico in 2013, Border Protection officials said.

Pardo-Castro faces a charge of illegal re-entry after deportation, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
