After his arrest, Elijah Mitchell expressed anti-migrant sentiments to detectives, insisting he could not let migrants interfere with his life and questioning their financial aid.
Mitchell claimed that the influx of migrants was problematic, lamenting how they received $1,500 monthly from the government while local workers earned their money.
In the days leading up to the shooting, Mitchell exhibited hostility towards the migrants, ultimately leading to a confrontation with Rodriguez Marcano.
Despite being involved in a verbal altercation with the migrants, Mitchell continued to deny owning a gun, despite evidence to the contrary.
