EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – A Mexican judge has sentenced a young man to 150 years in prison after finding him guilty of killing six people in the winter of 2023.
Jorge Manuel C.E., who was 18 at the time, and an accomplice who remains a minor, on Feb. 8, 2023, allegedly were given guns and a red pickup by members of an unidentified gang to “execute” several people in the Urbivilla del Prado neighborhood in Juarez, Mexico.
Between 11:30 p.m. and midnight, the teen sicarios (hitmen) visited four homes, killed three men on the scene, mortally wounded a fourth and chased and gunned down another two, the Chihuahua Attorney General’s Office said in a statement Thursday.
Juarez municipal police officers on the lookout for the red truck arrested Jorge Manuel C.E. and the minor near the last crime scene.
