MEXICAN CARTEL BOSS 'EL GATO' FACES NEW CHARGE, POSSIBLE DEATH PENALTY IN 2013 TEXAS MURDER. (PHOTO).


 Mexican cartel boss 'El Gato' faces new charge, possible death penalty in 2013 Texas murder

Jose Rodolfo Villareal-Hernandez, known as “El Gato” and formerly one of the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives, is facing a new federal charge in connection with a 2013 Texas murder. Federal prosecutors have filed a fifth superseding indictment against the Mexican cartel leader, adding a murder-for-hire charge that carries a potential death penalty if he is convicted.

Authorities say Villareal-Hernandez, linked to the Beltran Leyva Organization cartel, orchestrated the killing of Juan Jesus Guerrero Chapa at a Southlake shopping center in May 2013. Guerrero Chapa, allegedly a lawyer for a rival cartel, was shot while sitting in his vehicle during a shopping trip with his wife. Former U.S. attorney Paul Coggins explained the killing was part of a “plot of revenge” connected to Guerrero Chapa’s cartel ties and the death of Villareal-Hernandez’s father. After years on the run, Villareal-Hernandez was arrested in Mexico in 2023 and extradited to the U.S. earlier this year. His arraignment is scheduled for October 29 in Fort Worth, and if found guilty, a jury could consider the death penalty at a special sentencing hearing.
