EL PASO, Texas (AP) — An El Paso County grand jury has indicted three men, including a federal informant, on capital murder chargers in the contract killing of a fellow informant.
Court records show 31-year-old Ruben Rodriguez Dorado, a Juarez cartel hit man and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement informant, U.S. Army Pfc. Michael Jackson Apodaca, 18, and 17-year-old Christopher Duran were each indicted on a capital murder involving payment charge.
The records show that Rodriguez is a Juarez cartel hit man and U.S. Immigrant and Customs Enforcement informant.
The three, along with a juvenile and another man, are accused of fatally shooting fellow cartel lieutenant and ICE informant Jose Daniel Gonzalez Galeana. An arraignment hasn't been scheduled.
The three have been jailed since their August arrests.
