Deported Alien Re-Entered Florida Illegally, Now Faces Death Penalty For Murder
Shahidul Islam, 44, allegedly shot Monica Islam dead in Lake County on May 2, 2025; a grand jury indicted him July 8.
- Shahidul Islam, 44, had been deported from the US before illegally re-entering the country.
- Prosecutors say Islam possessed and discharged a firearm during the May 2025 killing.
- State Attorney Bill Gladson is pursuing capital punishment under Florida Statute 921.1426.
Why it matters: A deportation that fails to stop a return is not enforcement, it is paperwork.
