Enforcer for a Mexican Cartel American Sicario Admits to Killing 30 in U.S.

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat
 
He describes himself as a “debt collector” for the Mexican drug cartels, admittedly killed more than 30 people in the United States, according to investigators.
If Jose Martinez, 51, is found guilty of dozens of homicides on both coasts, would earn a place among the most lethal serial murderers in American history.
Investigators  have confirmed that Martinez is responsible for a double homicide in Marion County, Florida, March homicide in Lawrence County, Alabama, and at least 10 murders in California 2006, according to officials sheriff's office.
Martinez, a U.S. citizen, told investigators that he had committed the murders and more than a dozen others as an enforcer for several Mexican drug lords, according to Lawrence County Sheriff Captain Tim McWhorter.
McWhorter said,  "He had a reputation in the drug world as the guy who will get the job done. If he was assigned to receive money, he was receiving the  money. If he was assigned to kill,  the kill was done".

A trail of blood
Startling admissions from the alleged killer to  officials in Alabama, where investigators  from all involved  States converged in early June to interview the suspect,  nearly four months after the Florida detectives found key evidence linking Martinez to a unsolved case of 7-year-old, according to Marion County, Florida, Det. TJ Watts.
 
Authorities probing the November 8, 2006 murder of two Hispanic men, in February determined that DNA from a cigarette butt discovered in a Nissan truck, where riddled bodies were found of Javier Huerta, 20, and Gustavo Rivas, 28,  matched  Martinez said Watts. Authorities issued an arrest warrant against him.
The following month, authorities in Alabama investigating the murder of  Jose Ruiz, 32, March without revealing evidence  uncovered, said that it was left by Martinez at the crime scene during his visit to that state, a state where his daughter resides,  according to Captain McWhorter.
The authorities had previously suspected the boyfriend of the daughter of Martinez, Jaime Romero, but "incriminating information from anonymous sources" provided to investigators suggest Martinez pulled the trigger, McWhorter said.

By chance, Martinez was arrested by agents of the U.S. Border Patrol in early June near Yuma, Arizona, after trying to cross the border from Mexico without proper identification. Officials quickly matched  criminal fingerprint data to  Martinez and ordered his extradition to Alabama, where he now faces charges of murder, according to McWhorter.

At first, Martinez denied having participated in the murder of Ruiz, but eventually confessed to that  killing after only  an hour of questioning.
By then, McWhorter said, "the floodgates opened and began to confess multiple murders in Florida and California."
 
Martinez paused, looked at him, and thanked him for being respectful, before declaring: "I'm going to tell you the truth."
Martinez confessed to the Ruiz killing. But he was not done. He went on to confess to killing 30 men, McWhorter said. Of those, detectives so far have been able to identify 13 cases to be followed up.
 
In Lawrence County, investigators believe Martinez killed Ruiz out of anger after Ruiz insulted an acquaintance's girlfriend, and Martinez's daughter.
Martinez told investigators he worked on a contracts for a Mexican drug lord and other unidentified customers. He said many of the murders of which he confessed - including the 2006 double murder - resulted from disputes over trafficking and sales of illicit drugs.

"He is considered a bail bondsman for the cartels," said Watts. "It's a way you feed your family. He shows no remorse. He is cold-hearted and grim. "

The sicario describes says he began killing people at age 16, although it is unclear whether the alleged murders in that age were conducted at the request of Mexican drug cartels.

Martinez McWhorter claims  that in addition to drug related hits, he  killed people "involved in pedophilia or sexual abuse" as part of a personal vendetta work  unrelated to Mexican cartels.
The authorities have not confirmed that none of the victims were sex offenders Martinez said McWhorter.
However, McWhorter said investigators have found that Martinez is "very specific about the details of unsolved cases."
"He knows details that no one else knows, except the murderer. Proof is in  the details, "said McWhorter.

Martinez is currently being held in the Lawrence County Jail Alabama. He is  expected to plead guilty to the murder charge in that county. It is unclear when he will face charges in the Marion County, Florida
Researchers in Tulare, Calif., are investigating five unsolved homicides in which Martinez may have been the author, according to the Tulare County Sgt. Chris Douglass.

The other five murders in California may have occurred in other jurisdictions in the state, said McWhorter

    However it could be CDG

  6. I hope violence in México will end, because no one deserves to live in fear and what I hope from the US is for the people there to know about what goes on down here, understand it and help us put an end to this sad situation

  7. Anyone seen the movie no country for old men this guy reminds me of the killer that was after the guy whole stole money from a mexican cartel.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Early reports indicate Mario Ramirez, X-20, might have been by elements of the Sedena earlier today. It has'nt been officially confirmed. The plot thickens for the CDG.

  9. to bad for him that he wasnt in mexico, he'd still be a free man. but, you start fuckin around in america and you will be caught. It just goes to show you that the u.s still has recources to pour into 7 year old unsolved murders dealing with DNA. DNA takes a little time to pull but they will get you.

  10. yeah...all I found was mundo and they have erroneously had him dead X2 this past year. But someone says Valor Tamps has the story I will check it out. I check local blogs but nothing yet. Could be true but when a blog has a history of reporting untruths I hold back.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I checked Valor and there is nothing. and no one is reporting anything. without details there is no news we can't publish a one sentence line....need details if true.

    at 6:54 how about getting some details from your Tampico cousin...something to make a post of. when you say "confirmed" by who? give us something.

  22. He's confessing to slow down the process and possibly try to plea bargin a life sentence - Alabama and Florida are death penalty states.

    1. 10:23- I agree that Alabama is a death penalty state. My fear is the gov't will do a sweet deal if he talks about who he did the "jobs" for. Case in point, Ex mob boss Whitey Bulger. 2 guys that each killed more people than Whitey, got 12 years each to testify against him at his trial going on in Boston now. Or remember the twins in Chicago? This is not justice in my mind. Once again, if I killed one person, I'd be sitting on death row. Allowing mass murders to walk after 12 years is really going to send a message to the other nut jobs. "Hey,kill as many people you want..
      Just have dirt on a cartel and we've got a sweet deal for you." Makes me realize the US gov't.can't seem to catch anyone without help from another evil criminal. It sucks.My prayers go out to see real justice served against him. Too bad he wasn't caught in Texas. Thanks again for yet another article on the evil that prevails around drugs. Peace,Texas Grandma.

  24. If this would of happened in MEXICO this case would of never been solved. FACT

  25. What the US really needs to do is absorb everything down to the Columbian border. since half of the population of all these countries is already here, we should get something out of the deal. Who knows, with the US in charge, that shithole known as Mexico might just become great for the first time?

    ReplyDelete
  26. They should deport him to Mexico, notify the other cartels to come pick him up. Sure one of them will make sure he gets home safely
