JUVENILE HEARINGSCHEDULE
What: A juvenile detention hearing for a 16-year-old boy also arrested in connection with the murder of Teodoro Cervantes on Sept. 27
When: 11 a.m. Monday
Where: Lavaca County Annex courtroom.
HALLETTSVILLE - A Lavaca County grand jury has indicted four men for capital murder in connection with the shooting death of Teodoro Cervantes, 70, in Yoakum in late September.
Indicted were Jordan Cole Hessler, 20, Hugo Adrian Ibarra, 18, Jacob Reynosa, 20, and Anthony Lewis Rocha, 18, all of Yoakum. They were all named in a two-count indictment charging capital murder and felony murder.
Reynosa, in a statement to police, identified Hessler as the trigger man.
A fifth person, a 16-year-old, was also arrested in connection with the shooting.
"Now that the grand jury has indicted these defendants, we will aggressively pursue justice on behalf of the victim's family, the community and the State of Texas," said Lavaca County District Attorney Heather Hollub.

What happened to the 5th guy? One of the accused is being shown with only drug charges... not murder charges. Why is that?
December 2, 2009 at 9:12 a.m.Everyday, I have checked this website in hopes that I would soon see this post, I understand the holidays are near and everybody is enjoying their time with their families. I would like these individuals know that because of their stupid actions there will forever be an unattended chair at our family dinner table. HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to all and Happy Holidays.

November 25, 2009 at 5:12 a.m.Some people, if found gulty, have forfeited the right to hang out with the rest of us.
Such is the case with these fellas.
Mr. or Mrs. Judge, find a way to make sure no one else has to deal with these fine folks.
