Cambodian national convicted of second-degree murder in Fall River arrested by ICE Boston

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has announced the arrest of a man living in the Bay State.

Sarath Lon, a criminal illegal alien from Cambodia convicted of second-degree murder for his role in a Fall River homicide, was captured in Concord, Massachusetts.

On March 18, 2006, Lon drove Leonard Gonsalves to County Street after a party. Gonsalves said he had “business” to handle and was carrying a gun. When he spotted someone he had a prior problem with, he had Lon turn around and park on Canonicus Street. Gonsalves then got out, walked around the corner onto Quequechan Street, and 10 to 15 gunshots were heard. He ran back to the car and they fled. The victim, 22-year-old Nathan Harrigan, was shot and later died from his injuries.

Lon was convicted by a jury on December 16, 2008, of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole. He was granted parole in 2021.
