The Guilford County Sheriff’s Office arrested an alleged killer over a month and a half ago; however, until Saturday, April 26, the identity of the victim remained a mystery.
This weekend, the Sheriff’s Office reported that its Major Crimes Investigative Unit had identified the victim of the homicide in Jamestown.
The victim was a 33-year-old Honduran man named Jose Margarito Alvarez-Espinal.
The murder occurred on Saturday, March 8, 2025.
At just after 10:40 p.m. Guilford County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call at 6000 Devoncourt Place in Jamestown after being alerted of a stabbing incident.
When they arrived on the scene, sheriff’s deputies discovered a bleeding man with life-threatening injuries, and, at that time, they immediately began giving first aid in an attempt to save the victim’s life.
Soon after, however, Guilford County Emergency Services arrived on the scene and EMS responders pronounced the man dead.
While the victim was a John Doe at that point, Yoni Isaias Cifuentes Perez, 39, was arrested soon after the stabbing and charged with First Degree Murder.
Perez, pictured above, is currently being held without bond in the Guilford County Detention Center in High Point.
According to the Sheriff’s Office, this is an active and ongoing investigation and no further details will be made public at this time.
Anyone who has information regarding this investigation is being asked to contact Detective A. Miller at 336-641-5966 or call Guilford County Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000.
Another murder by someone who needs a translator.
Since Guilford county and the city Greensboro is a sanctuary city, we are going to see more and more violent crime. Who is going to pay the cost for arrest and detention of these illegals who commit these crimes? Of course, once again it will be on the property owners and you will, once again, continue to see your tax bill rise! I have a great idea! Since I don’t think most property owners voted for and approved Guilford County/Greensboro to become a sanctuary city, perhaps those board members who did vote for this…well, they and they alone can foot the bill!
Let’s ask Chris for a donation since he believes that ILLEGALS didn’t commit their first crime by coming here ILLEGALLY
Do you have any sources that say this person was here illegally? Or is this you pretending all immigrants/refugees are illegal if they have legal status or not.
Note, I have no idea if this person is legal or not as the article doesn’t state his legal status. I just don’t jump to assumptions to fit my agenda as you all seem perfectly happy to do on a daily basis in your comments.
But you be you.
Wow Chris, how about this. 3 ILLEGALS in Garner just arrested in the last 2 days for abduction and kidnapping charges after they broke into a home, assaulted the husband then kidnapped the wife and an 11 month old child. All 3 suspects are in the US ILLEGALLY Maybe you can go down and help with their bond.
Having a hard time coming to a defense of these 3 ILLEGALS Chris
What was it Trump said after the Iowa school shooting? Oh right “we have to get over it”. Funny how conservatives will go all out against some murders and shrug their shoulders at others.
Chris. On good authority they were both illegals.
Sounds like a media quoting their misinformation.
I wouldn’t call the dept. the media
Sorry Chris a couple words were missing
I wouldn’t call the Sheriffs Dept. a media outlet. My cousin is a magistrate
The DOJ I hear is going to start coming after these sanctuary cities and counties on a one by one basis. Federal funding cuts and legal proceedings. Guilford beware.
ICE can come take of this problem
Maybe ICE will check Chris’s legal status
That is a great example of a modern conservative today. Just deport anyone you don’t like. Who else had that attitude in history? Hmmmmm?
Who said anything about deporting, legal status was mentioned. If you’re legal you’ll have no problem
Progressive county and city. Screw the taxpayer. What do you expect?
