Suspected of killing sex workers in Laredo, U.S. Border Patrol supervisor Juan David Ortiz looked sleepy as authorities questioned him following his arrest in Laredo on Sept. 15, 2018.Jurors at Ortiz’s capital murder trial Wednesday watched the beginning of what prosecutors said was a 10-hour interview that would end with his confessing to the four execution-style killings.“You already know,” Ortiz told Webb County sheriff’s Capt. Federico Calderon and Texas Ranger E.J.
Officers had scrambled to find him after the woman, Erika Peña, ran to a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper pumping gas at the store. They saw Ortiz at the same store hours later, chased him to a parking garage and arrested him.at the request of defense lawyers because of adverse publicity in Laredo.
