According to prosecutors, the illegal alien struck the girl in the head with a blunt object, then strangled and drowned her.
Gomez-Orozco’s body was found days later in a water well at the home where Zavala-Garcia had been living.
As previously reported, Zavala-Garcia crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally sometime after 2014, when he was first deported for violent crime charges, having been arrested twice for assault that year.
Zavala-Garcia will serve a life sentence without the possibility of parole for the murder.
