Houston police say Melvin Alvarado shot Anderson, and that Jonathan Lopez Torres was the getaway driver. Both are facing charges.
According to immigration officials, Alvarado is in the U.S. illegally from El Salvador and has twice been deported. Anderson's uncle is furious about the situation.
"What you're doing is giving them a green light, telling them you can come over here and do what you want. We can kill anyone we want," said the victim's uncle Joe Lambert. "They aren't going to do anything but keep us here a little while and then send us back.," said the victim's uncle Joe Lambert.
ICE says Lopez Torres is a legal resident from Honduras.
The funeral for Shatavia Anderson was held this morning at Canaan Baptist Church on Lockwood. She was laid to rest at Paradise Cemetery on the north side.
