Family members of Delgado, a 47-year-old father of four, tell Channel 9’s Dave Faherty that the men had come to the area to pick up a friend who had been drinking, but they never made it home.
Police later charged Javiel Sola with three counts of felony hit-and-run involving serious injury or death. They say he crashed into a creek, and they had to use a police K-9 to find him.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, Javiel Sola is a citizen of El Salvador living in the U.S. without legal status. Channel 9 learned U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed a detainer with the Rowan County Jail requesting notification before Sola is released from local custody.
The loved ones of Delgado and Hernandez are set to honor the men at a visitation at 5 p.m.
