Overview
- Authorities say the Feb. 11 attack in Greenville left a male victim hospitalized, and DHS reports he survived.
- John Carlos Calderon, 22, was arrested Monday and joins Jonathan David Garcia-Larios, 20, and Zaid Mayen, 21, already in custody without bond.
- All three face first-degree felony counts that include forcible sexual assault, kidnapping, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill causing serious injury.
- DHS described allegations that the attackers sodomized and beat the victim and ripped out his fingernails, while noting one suspect, Garcia-Larios, was deported in 2024.
- Investigators reported finding evidence at a Chapel Hill apartment linked to Mayen, and said the U.S. Marshals Service and Chapel Hill police assisted; Calderon’s immigration status remains under review.
