Bangladeshi national charged with sister-in-law's murder, ICE issues detainer
May 6, 2025 · Lake County, FL, Bangladesh

Akbor Miah, a Bangladeshi national, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in New York on May 6, 2025, and extradited to Florida to face first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of Monica Islam, his sister-in-law, whose body was discovered along a road in Mount Dora in May 2025. Investigators found evidence linking Miah to the crime. Federal immigration officials have lodged a detainer on Miah with the Lake County Jail, requesting his transfer to federal custody if released. Records show Miah was previously deported in January 2019 after an immigration judge issued a removal order, but later re-entered the United States illegally and was released by federal authorities in March 2022.
