An official from the Justice Department confirmed reports that the agency is looking into filing federal charges against the man who killed Kate Steinle in the summer two years ago. The official declined to give more information.
Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, a Mexican man who is an illegal alien in the United States, was acquitted of Steinle’s murder and manslaughter on Thursday, Nov. 30. He was convicted on a lesser charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
