Olvin Mauricio Martinez Coto/Honduras/Attempted Homicide, Home Invasion, Aggravated Femicide

Olvin Mauricio Martinez Coto, a citizen of Honduras and an illegal alien in the United States, has been arrested by ICE following a high-priority enforcement operation targeting foreign fugitives wanted for violent crimes abroad. Martinez Coto is wanted by Honduran authorities and faces a potential sentence of 44 years in prison if convicted of severe charges that underscore his dangerous profile.

Authorities in Honduras have charged Martinez Coto with attempted homicide, aggravated femicide, and forcible home invasion. Aggravated femicide, in particular, is a grave offense in Honduras, defined as the killing of a woman specifically because of her gender and often linked to broader patterns of gender-based violence that have plagued the country. The crime carries some of the heaviest penalties under Honduran law, reflecting the government’s intensified efforts to combat violence against women.

According to investigative reports, Martinez Coto is accused of breaking into a home with force, an act of aggression that allegedly escalated into violent attacks. The charges of attempted homicide and aggravated femicide indicate extreme acts of violence that could have resulted in the victim’s death, highlighting the level of threat he poses both in his home country and potentially within U.S. communities.

Following his arrest, Martinez Coto was placed in ICE custody, where he will remain pending the outcome of his removal proceedings. His case illustrates ICE’s focus on apprehending fugitives with serious criminal charges overseas, ensuring individuals who have allegedly committed violent offenses do not evade justice by hiding in the United States.
