A verdict has been reached in the serial killings trial of ex-Border Patrol agent Juan David Ortiz.
Family members react during the prosecution’s closing argument in the capital murder trial of former U.S. Border Patrol supervisor Juan David Ortiz on Wednesday. Ortiz is accused of killing four women in September 2018.In 13 days in 2018, Juan David Ortiz picked up four sex workers in Laredo, took them to remote areas and shot them in the head or neck, leaving them to die, prosecutors said Wednesday in closing arguments in his capital murder trial.
Ortiz was 35 when he was arrested on Sept. 15, 2018, after a frantic manhunt. The search was triggered by a fifth woman, a prostitute who told police that one of her customers had pulled a gun on her as she became suspicious that he had killed two of her friends who also worked Laredo’s red light district on San Bernardo Avenue.Ortiz described killing
“Mr. Ortiz was a serial killer then, and now,” said Isidro R. “Chilo” Alaniz, the district attorney for Webb and Zapata counties told the jury. “That is what the evidence has proven.” “That evidence should not have been admitted for your consideration,” Fuchs told the panel. “If one of us is denied a right, we are all denied a right. In this case, police denied his rights.”Perez said the main investigators used “improper persuasion, improper influence, and promises” to get the confession, citing the video in which one of the detectives told Ortiz that if he cooperated, they would “put in a good word” with the DA.
