Range Rover that was parked at Southlake Town Square.\u00a0 A Toyota Sequoia pulled up behind the Range Rover, a gunman got out of that vehicle, walked up to the Range Rover and fired several times through the window at Mr. Chapa, who died at the scene.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Nearby, Chapa\u2019s wife was not

with the intent to murder Mr. Chapa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Further, the government presented evidence that from approximately May 23, 2013, until September 5, 2014, Cepeda-Cortes took steps to destroy evidence related to the investigation that was on his computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The defendants, according to evidence presented at trial, were acting on orders from a man in Mexico, Rodolfo Villarreal Hernandez, known as \u201cEl Gato,\u201d or \u201cThe Cat,\u201d who wanted Chapa killed as revenge for his father\u2019s murder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The defendants exchanged information via email to locate Chapa &#8211; exchanging personal information about Chapa and his family, as well as information regarding vehicles associated with them and photographs of the Chapa residence in Southlake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The defendants used various means to locate and track Chapa and members of his family.\u00a0 Cepeda-Cortes purchased surveillance cameras that were placed in various locations in Chapa\u2019s neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, while in the area, the defendants purchased and rented several vehicles that allowed them to frequently change vehicles and use rental vehicles to avoid detection by Chapa and his family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">They placed automobile tracking devices not only on their vehicles, but on vehicles owned and operated by Chapa and his relatives, including the Range Rover that Chapa was in when he was murdered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The evidence indicated that after the defendants located Chapa, \u201cEl Gato\u201d sent two assassins from Mexico to Southlake to kill Chapa.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of them was the gunman who killed the victim on May 22, 2013, and the other drove the Toyota Sequoia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
