Illegal Immigrant To Be Tried As Adult In Murder Case

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A teenager, illegally in the country, accused of killing a mother and her daughter was scheduled to go on trial Monday.

Jose Sosa was just 16-years-old when he allegedly stabbed Lori and Adrian Roundtree to death in April 2006.

At the time of the murders Sosa lived next door to the Roundtrees with his three brothers.

Police matched fingerprints at the crime scene to Sosa's in the FBI's database.

Sosa's fingerprints were taken when he was arrested for illegally entering the country. He was sent back across the border - only to re-enter later.

Sosa will be tried as an adult.
