One of the lead investigators looking into the deaths of four prostitutes in Laredo testified late Thursday afternoon that the suspect in the killings admitted to the slayings.
“I’m the one who did it,” Capt. Federico Calderon of the Webb County Sheriff’s Office said on the witness stand what the defendant, ex-Border Patrol agent Juan David Ortiz, told him and Texas Ranger EJ Salinas during interrogation of the suspect.“How these people were trash and how he was going to clean up the streets and that he was gonna keep doing it until he got caught,” Calderon said.
Before that testimony, the jury in the capital murder trial viewed more video of the nearly 10-hour interrogation video. When asked why rounds were missing from Ortiz’s service weapon that is believed to have been used in the killings, the defendant said, “I shoot up at the sky. Boom! Boom! Boom!”
