Suspect in deadly crime spree deported at least three times

The man wanted for two murders in North Texas was transferred back to the Dallas County Jail after he was arrested near Austin.
Only FOX 4 was there when Silvestre Franco-Luviano was escorted into the Dallas County Jail Wednesday afternoon. When asked about the alleged murders, he refused to answer any questions and looked away.
Law enforcement officials said the 40-year-old Mexican national has a history of prior arrests and has been deported three times in the past.
Immigration officials say Luvaino was first deported in 1996 after a criminal conviction. He was caught trying to reenter in 2009 and deported a second time. Then in 2011, he was arrested again in Austin, sentenced to eight months in prison and deported a third time in 2014.
"I've been doing this kind of work for 30 years and know we have a very porous border. That's quite obvious," said Supervisory Deputy U.S. Marshal Hector Gomez with the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force. "Coming in and out of the country is relatively easy. I hate to say this is not unusual."
Luviano was arrested Tuesday night in Georgetown, north of Austin. He was wanted for a shooting spree early Monday that targeted at least five random drivers in Dallas and Cedar Hill. Two men – Ruben Moreno and Welton Betts – were killed.
After the shootings, police said Luviano broke into a home, stole a car and fled to Georgetown. He allegedly kidnapped a man in Georgetown but let him go after stealing his vehicle.
A tip led police to Luviano at a relative’s apartment. Police said he broke through a wall into an adjoining apartment and set a small fire as a diversion to try to get away, but officers were still able to tackle him at the bottom of the stairs.
When Luviano was arrested, police recovered a .45 caliber handgun and ammunition. Sources tell FOX 4 the gun was reported stolen.
