### **Known Gang Member Gets to Attend Public High School**
Walter Martinez, an MS-13 gang member, was allowed to attend Edgewood High School in Harford County, Maryland, despite being the primary suspect in the murder of Kayla Hamilton.
Walter Martinez, aged 16 at the time, was identified as the main suspect in the murder of 20-year-old Kayla Hamilton, who was found strangled in her home in July 2022. Despite being detained and questioned by police, Martinez was not charged immediately due to the time needed for DNA evidence processing. During this period, he was enrolled at Edgewood High School in October 2022. Neither the school nor the school district was informed of his status as a murder suspect by any of the involved law enforcement or social services agencies.
The case has sparked outrage and legal scrutiny, with Kayla's mother, Tammy Nobles, criticizing the system for allowing such a situation to occur. Martinez, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, had been allowed into the U.S. and was living with a sponsor in Maryland before the incident.
Martinez pleaded guilty to murder in August 2024 and was sentenced to 70 years in prison. The incident has raised questions about the oversight of immigrant minors, school safety, and the legal processes surrounding minors suspected of serious crimes.
This case highlights significant gaps in communication between legal authorities and educational institutions, as well as the broader issues of illegal immigration and gang activity within the U.S. It underscores the need for policy reviews concerning the treatment and handling of minors suspected of crimes, especially those with gang affiliations.
