He did not specify who he killed, but court records say he shot three high-ranking members of his gang and passed down orders targeting Officer Pesina.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Until this week\u2019s indictment, Pesina\u2019s killing had not been mentioned in the charges against Reyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">During the closed hearing in September, federal authorities said Reyes is suspected in at least 35 killings, and briefly held the rank of \u201clieutenant of lieutenants,\u201d according to details made public in October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Three other purported members of the gang: Jerry \u201cSpook\u201d Idrogo, 34; Alfredo \u201cFreddy Low\u201d Cardona, 36; and Jesse \u201cJay\u201d Santibanez, 26, are charged in connection with the death of Pesina, who was shot outside his tattoo shop May 4, 2014, as he reportedly delivered payment for a street tax imposed by the gang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Before Pesina\u2019s death, the FBI suspected he was dealing drugs and was secretly recording him with a pole-mounted video camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If convicted, all four suspects face up to life in prison. The Justice Department has not issued a determination on whether local federal prosecutors should pursue the death penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Law officers also believe Reyes participated in the killing of Julie Ann Rodriguez, 44. She was shot in September 2013 in her driveway a day before she was to be the key witness against the Mexican Mafia\u2019s reputed \u201ccaptain of captains,\u201d Martin B. Balboa, 45, in a cold-case murder trial. Balboa was later charged with federal drug and gun crimes and is awaiting trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sources said Reyes is most recently suspected of being involved in the Oct. 22, 2014, shooting of Ernest Ibarra, 45, and Jacob Gonzales, 43, in the 700 block of Fay Avenue. Ibarra died there. Gonzales died a few days later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">At the recent hearing, U.S. District Judge David Ezra granted federal prosecutors\u2019 request to postpone Reyes\u2019 case for four months as they seek guidance from the Justice Department on how to proceed. Reyes is charged with using and discharging a firearm during a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity. His case is part of a larger racketeering investigation into the gang.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Reyes went to the San Antonio Police Department for protection after he was shot Nov. 9, 2014, in an apparent hit ordered by imprisoned gang leaders, records show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Over at least two days, he confessed to the SAPD and the FBI about several killings and helped them in finding the bodies of three victims: gang bosses Mark Anthony \u201cLefty\u201d Bernal, Carlos \u201cWorm\u201d Chapa and Johnny \u201cSmiley\u201d Solis, in a makeshift grave in Pearsall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">They were killed and buried in a grave for allegedly mishandling $60,000, records said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"byline\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"preview-slide-navigator\">\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vertical\" src=\"http:\/\/bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com\/lmtonline.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/a\/1a\/a1a73a6c-f6c3-11e5-9768-935324bff825\/56fc4ddb8f387.image.jpg?resize=300%2C509\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"509\" align=\"left\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Texas Mafia member, Jerry Idrogo, 34, a suspect of killing Balcones Heights Police Officer Julian Pesina appeared at the Federal Court House, on Wednesday June 17, 2015, for a hearing.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"horizontal\" src=\"http:\/\/bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com\/lmtonline.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/a\/3a\/a3a54b42-f6c3-11e5-a7aa-4bd5a6855859\/56fc4ddee308b.image.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" align=\"left\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Balcones Heights Officer Julian Pesina<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"vertical\" src=\"http:\/\/bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com\/lmtonline.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/a\/43\/a43cacb2-f6c3-11e5-858c-4b87a018172e\/56fc4ddfe0e46.image.jpg?resize=300%2C514\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"514\" align=\"left\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">San Antonio police officer escorts Priscilla Berlanga to a police car Tuesday September 16, 2014.
