Investigators said Martinez-Perez is not a legal resident of the United States, and that his country of origin is not yet clear.
The victim’s family said a detective told them Perez has been in the country for about four months.

Louise Sollowin spent 50 years helping her sister fire up the oven at Orsi's Italian Bakery, where her love of the family business kept her going well into her 80s.

Sollowin baked and cleaned, chatting almost exclusively in Italian with her sister, Frances Orsi, whose husband, Claudio, ran the bakery for decades. Sollowin's husband, Joe, did the books.

Sergio Martinez-Perez, 19, beat and raped Sollowin because he had been drinking much of the previous night and was “angry with women,” a prosecutor told a Douglas County Court judge Wednesday.  Martinez-Perez told police that he beat and raped the victim, the prosecutor said
....
Martinez-Perez, who has no permanent address, told Harmon through an interpreter that he has been working in the area as a roofer.
Sollowin's family said a detective told him that Martinez-Perez had been living in Omaha for four months.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has asked the jail to hold him, an official there said. That is often an indication that the federal agency is questioning an inmate's immigration status. Authorities had not released Martinez-Perez's immigration status as of late Thursday morning.
