    Yoni Martinez Aguilar Sentenced to LWOP in 2018 AL Double Murder


    Oralia Mendoza and Mariah Feit Lopez


    Yoni Martinez Aguilar and Israel Gonzalez Palomino




    2 men arrested in connection with Alabama teen's murder

    By Lyndsey Connell
    WBRC News

    MADISON COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - A Huntsville honor student was found brutally murdered and now, the search is on for her missing grandmother.

    Friday morning, the Madison County Sheriff's Office said that 26-year-old Yoni Martinez Aguilar and 34-year-old Israel Gonzalez Palomino were both arrested for capital murder of a person under 14, in connection with the murder of 13-year-old Mariah Feit Lopez.

    Aguilar was arrested on Friday morning, a little after midnight and is charged with murder and Palomino was arrested on Thursday night, just after 8 o'clock. is charged with murder and drug possession.

    The body of Lopez was discovered by a farmer last week on a property off Cave Spring Road in Owens Cross Roads and the Madison County Sheriff’s Office is concerned about her grandmother, who has vanished.

    Authorities have been working around the clock to find out what happened to the two relatives in a case that’s expanded into a homicide and missing persons investigation.

    It started last week when the remains of a female were discovered in the wood line on Lemley Drive.The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences identified the body, with dental records, as Mariah.

    The teen was an excellent student and made the A/B Honor Roll at her school. Huntsville City Schools released the following statement on Thursday: “We are saddened to learn of the passing of Mariah Lopez, a student at Challenger Middle School. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family and will keep them in our thoughts and prayers.”

    Mariah and Oralia Mendoza, who is also the teen’s guardian, are not affiliated with the area of Owens Cross Roads where Mariah’s body was left, according to officials.

    They were last seen Sunday, June 3, and then Mariah’s remains were located on Thursday, June 7, but Mendoza was nowhere to be seen.

    “Even though the young lady is no longer with us, we don’t know the location of her grandmother. Take a look at their photos, and we want to know if you have seen them leading up to that Sunday or Monday whenever they were last accounted for and if you have any information, please call the sheriff’s office,” said Lt. Donny Shaw, public information officer for the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

    As investigators work to find Mendoza, they’re also looking for a murder suspect or suspects as they piece the tragic chain of events together.

    “They are following up on leads that they’re developing and hopefully we’ll have those answers soon to be able to give closure to the family members who have lost a loved one and don’t know where their loved one is right now so hopefully we’ll have some answers for them soon in the investigation that’s being done,” Shaw explained.

    He declined to say how Mariah was killed, only that it was “heinous.”

    “I will tell you that the manner is which she was killed was a brutal murder and when the time is appropriate for us to release the details of that, it will be shocking to the people in this area,” Lt. Shaw added.

    Oralia Mendoza was reported missing to Huntsville police after Sunday, June 3, by concerned relatives. Grieving family members have shared information that Shaw says has been useful as investigators look into every possibility. There’s no word on a possible motive.

    Officials fear for Mendoza’s safety, especially after what happened to her granddaughter.

    “We hope to find her alive somewhere so that she can be reunited with her family so they don’t have to deal with another loved one being deceased but we are diligently looking for her and we want to find her whatever her condition is. We have some people that we’re going to be contacting and interviewing. It’s a very shocking and unsettling situation for them,” Lt. Shaw added.

    He added that the sheriff’s office does not believe that there’s any threat or danger to the general public in connection with the case.

    Body found near cemetery is believed to be missing grandmother of slain teen, cops say

    By Ashley Remkus
    AL.com

    A body that was recovered near a Madison County cemetery today is believed to be Oralia Mendoza, the missing grandmother of slain teen Mariah Lopez, authorities said.

    Investigators won't know for sure the identification of the body until the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences completes it autopsy. But, Lt. Donny Shaw, a sheriff's spokesman, said investigators followed leads in the case and went to Moon Cemetery on Cave Springs Road this morning. There, they found the body, he said.

    "There is reason to believe that the remains are those of Oralia Mendoza," Shaw said. He said investigators aren't releasing further details.

    Mendoza is the missing grandmother and guardian of 13-year-old Mariah Lopez, a Huntsville girl whose body was found June 7 in a wooded area on Lemley Drive. That area is less than three miles from where a body was found today.

    Two men have been charged with capital murder in Lopez' death. Yoni Martinez Aguilar, 26, and Israel Gonzalez Palomino, 34, are held in the Madison County jail without bail, according to the sheriff's office.

    Investigators haven't yet released details about how Lopez was killed. Authorities also haven't commented publicly on a motive for the killing.

    Mendoza and Lopez lived in Huntsville. The girl was a city schools student.

    Further details haven't been released.

    Men face another capital murder charge in slayings of Huntsville teen, grandmother

    By Ashley Remkus
    AL.com

    The men jailed in the slaying of Huntsville teen Mariah Lopez were charged today with a second count of capital murder for the death of her grandmother Oralia Mendoza, authorities said.

    Yoni Martinez Aguilar, 26, and Israel Gonzalez Palomino, 34, have been in the Madison County jail without bail since their arrests last week on capital murder charges. They initially were charged only with the slaying of Lopez, a 13-year-old Huntsville student. Today, investigators charged them with the murder of her 49-year-old grandmother, sheriff's Lt. Donny Shaw confirmed.

    A body believed to be Mendoza was found near Moon Cemetery on Cave Springs Road on June 15. The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences hasn't positively identified the remains as Mendoza, Shaw said.

    "But with information obtained during interviews and the clothing that was with the remains, there was enough probable cause for the second warrant," Shaw told AL.com.

    Lopez' body was found June 7 in a wooded area on Lemley Drive. That area is less than three miles from the second body -- believed to be Mendoza -- was found.

    Palomino and Aguilar each faces one count of capital murder of a child younger than 14 and one count of capital murder for the killing of two or more people, records show.

    DEA U.S. Attorneys talk efforts to combat Sinaloa cartel in AL

    By Lindsey Connell

    WAFF

    BIRMINGHAM, AL - What do you know about the Sinaloa cartel?

    It’s believed to be connected to the beheading of a Huntsville special needs teen and murder of her grandmother- a case making headlines around the world.

    Federal officials are helping to shed some light on the Mexican cartel and how they operate, as well as what’s being done to combat their crimes.

    Bret Hamilton, the Assistant Special Agent in Charge for DEA in Alabama, says the vast majority of the drugs trafficked into the U.S. come from the Sinaloa cartel.

    “It’s probably the most extensive, most pervasive cartel working in Mexico and throughout the United States. It’s probably the largest and most organized cartel,” Hamilton explained.

    “The Sinaloa Cartel is a violent drug cartel. They engage primarily in the trafficking of methamphetamine. They assimilate in the open. They go to areas where there’s heavy or large immigrant populations and they embed in there and then they traffic their narcotics. It’s a problem throughout the United States, not just here,” said Jay Town, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama.

    The Sinaloa cartel is a poly-drug organization and they also do human trafficking. They divide their operation into cells.

    “They’ll have individuals who are responsible for collecting drugs south of the border, cells that are responsible for transporting drugs from Mexico to transshipment hubs through the US- Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas. And then from those areas, they’ll have distributers who move drugs further out into places like Huntsville and Birmingham,” Hamilton said.

    Based in Mexico, the cartel was long run by Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, who is now in custody in the US pending trial.

    Within the United States, members try to maintain a low profile, Hamilton says.

    “They try to embed themselves into the local Mexican national community. They’re a very diverse organization. They’re very well organized. They have CEOs and directors of certain aspects of the operation- a director of drugs, trafficking, transportation,” he stated.

    DEA agents have had informants tell them that the cartel even has power point presentations about changes and information on their operations.

    Cartel members don’t target individual Americans for no reason. They go after people who do business with them and who steal from them, or betray them, Hamilton revealed.

    The DEA has long term investigations into the cartel and agents are working all over the world to gain intelligence in an effort to dismantle their operations.

    “I can’t get specific, but we have open, active cases on people who we believe are members of the Sinaloa cartel,” Agent Hamilton said.

    The murders of 13-year-old Mariah Lopez and her grandmother Oralia Mendoza in Madison County are believed to be linked to the Sinaloa cartel. Some of the players in the investigation are believed to be drug runners for the organization.

    In a preliminary hearing last week for one of the suspects in the case, many new details were released.

    Mariah Lopez, a 13-year-old, was decapitated and her grandmother, Oralia Mendoza, was also killed last month in Owens Cross Roads. Their bodies were found a week apart in different locations off the same road.

    Yoni Martinez Aguilar, 26, and 34-year-old Israel Gonzalez Palomino face capital murder charges in connection with the killings.

    In court, Madison County investigators testified that in days before the murder, Aguilar, Palomino, Mendoza and her friend Laticia went to Norcross, Georgia to pick up a large amount of drugs. Something on that trip made Palominoand Mendoza get into a deadly argument.

    Investigators said Palomino was once romantically involved with Mendoza, but it was Aguilar who was currently dating Mendoza at the time of the murder.

    On June 7, deputies were called to a wooded area on Lemley Drive where Mariah's body was found. From there authorities learned the 13-year-old's grandmother was her primary guardian and was also missing. Family members told investigators about the grandmother's friends and who may have seen her last.

    Palomino and Aguilar both went willingly to be interviewed by investigators.

    The Madison County Sheriff's Office interviewed both Aguilar and Palomino, but the investigator said it wasn't until the second interview that Aguilar spilled more information and demonstrated how the murders happened. He told investigators where Mariah's body could be found once authorities told him that their cellphone pings put them at the location.

    According to courtroom testimony, Aguilar helped authorities locate Mendoza's body near Moon Cemetery on Cave Springs Road more than a week after Mariah's body was found.

    Aguilar told investigators that Palomino held his hand with the knife and moved it back and forth to behead the 13-year old.

    Authorities believe the murders happened on June 4.

    Aguilar claims Palomino killed Mendoza. She died from “sharp force injury wounds,” according to the sheriff’s office. Investigators say he told them that he was sitting in the passenger seat while Palomino and Mendoza were outside talking. That’s when he said he saw Mendoza's arms slide down the car and Palomino jump in the car and leave with Mariah in the backseat.

    In court, the investigator on the case added that Aguilar told them that they had to kill Mariah because she witnessed her grandmother’s murder. Mendoza was Mariah's main guardian. Mariah was also on the autism spectrum.

    Investigators added that Mendoza and Laticia had connections to drug operations with the Sinaloa cartel.

    Aguilar’s case will now go before a grand jury. Palomino denies he made Aguilar kill Mariah. His preliminary hearing was pushed back, and a new date has not yet been set.

    The victims and suspects all lived in Huntsville.

    U.S. Attorney Jay Town says a lot of the meth the Sinaloa cartel bringing into the U.S. is laced with fentanyl, making it even more dangerous with the deadly opiate mixed in.

    He is not familiar with the specifics of the Lopez/Mendoza investigation because it is a Madison County Sheriff’s Office case but acknowledged that it’s evidence of what the cartel is capable of.

    “Unfortunately, drug cartels are alive and well in the United States, in Alabama and in the northern district and this is just another example, a horrific example, of that,” Town said. “They’re murderous, they’re violent and these are individuals who are ripe for the dealing with by the DEA, ATF and FBI and certainly our justice system.”

    He has a message to the public about the work being done to track down cartel members and prosecute them.

    “We are aggressively pursuing all members of the Sinaloa Cartel inside the Northern District of Alabama. I want to assure residents that we are taking it as seriously as possible. Folks everywhere in the US need to know that the DEA is doing its level best to gain intel in their investigation into this cartel so that we can get rid of them for good,” Town stated.

    Case of beheaded Alabama girl, slain cartel-connected grandmother heads to grand jury

    By Ashley Remkus
    AL.com

    The case against a second suspect in the beheading of a young Alabama girl who witnessed the slaying of her cartel-connected grandmother is headed to a grand jury.

    Capital murder suspect Israel Palomino has waived his preliminary hearing, which was scheduled for today in Madison County District Court. The case will be presented to a grand jury for consideration of indictments.

    Palomino is charged along with Yoni Aguilar in the slayings of 13-year-old Mariah Lopez, a Challenger Middle School student from Huntsville, and her grandmother Oralia Mendoza. Their bodies were dumped in rural Madison County in June.

    Lopez was beheaded with a knife, according to testimony at Aguilar's preliminary hearing last month. Sheriff's Investigator Stacy Rutherford testified that Mendoza was fatally assaulted with knife and left lying in a Madison County Cemetery.

    Mendoza was connected to the Mexican Sinoloa cartel, one of the most powerful drug-trafficking organizations in the U.S., authorities said. She and her granddaughter were killed just days after a drug run to Georgia, Rutherford said under oath.

    Along with Aguilar, Palomino and another woman, Mendoza traveled just outside Atlanta to pick up a batch of methamphetamine the night of June 2, Rutherford testified. Something apparently went wrong during the trip, and Palomino, became suspicious of a setup, according to investigators.

    During the early morning hours of June 4, Mendoza was told she and Lopez would be taken somewhere safe. Instead, Palomino and Aguilar, who was Mendoza's boyfriend, took the woman and girl to Moon Cemetery on Cave Springs Road, Rutherford testified.

    In a statement to investigators, Aguilar said Mendoza and Palomino got out of the car and argued about the drug run. The argument escalated, and Aguilar told police Palomino killed Mendoza. Authorities have said her cause of death was sharp force trauma caused by a knife.

    Because Lopez was a witness, the suspects took the girl to a secluded area on nearby Lemley Drive, Rutherford testified. In his statement, Aguilar said Palomino forced him to kill the girl.

    Aguilar told investigators he was holding the knife when Palomino came up to him and moved his arm back and forth in a sawing motion. Lopez was beheaded, Rutherford testified.

    Three days later, the sheriff's office started investigating after a farm boy found a body on the Lemley Drive property.

    It took about a week for forensic scientists to positively identify the body as Lopez. By then, Aguilar and Palomino were in custody. After Aguilar confessed, authorities found Mendoza's body at the cemetery on June 15.

    The case against 26-year-old Aguilar already has been bound over to the grand jury. During his preliminary hearing, District Judge Claude Hundley ruled prosecutors have enough evidence to establish probable cause for the capital murder charges. Aguilar and 34-year-old Palomino are held without bail in the Madison County jail.

    A grand jury will be tasked with deciding which, if any, charges Aguilar and Palomino should face at trial. It's unclear how long it could take for the case to be presented to the grand jury.

    A judge has issued a gag order, prohibiting law enforcement, defense attorneys and prosecutors from speaking publicly about the case except in open court.

    Capital murder suspect in Madison County teen beheading case appears before judge

    By Chris Joseph
    WAFF

    HUNTSVILLE, AL - Thursday a man charged with two counts of capital murder appeared before a Madison County judge for a status conference, and his grand jury hearing was tentatively scheduled.

    In June, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office arrested Yoni Martinez Aguilar for the murders of 13-year-old Mariah Lopez and her 49-year-old grandmother, Oralia Mendoza.

    Deputies found Lopez’s body beheaded in the woods near Lemley Drive in Madison County, and later found Mendoza’s body at Moon Cemetery at Cave Springs Road.

    On Thursday, Madison County Deputy District Attorney Tim Gann told Judge Donna Pate he was not yet in possession of either autopsy report.

    He said the prosecution was still waiting on supplemental evidence from the sheriff’s office, which is still being compiled.

    Gann told Judge Pate it could be April before all the materials needed were assembled, and she tentatively scheduled the grand jury hearing for “late April."

    Aguilar remained silent throughout the court proceedings.

    Israel Gonzalez Palomino is also facing two capital murder charges in relation to Lopez’s and Mendoza’s deaths.

    Madison County sheriff asks judge to dismiss subpoena request in capital murder case

    By Sheila O'Connor
    WAFF News

    HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - On Thursday, a Madison County judge could make an important ruling regarding a capital murder case.

    Defense attorney’s for Israel Palomino filed a subpoena asking Madison County Sheriff Kevin Turner to hand over specific jail records regarding Palomino.

    The defense has requested booking records, disciplinary records, visit logs, medical records and notes, anything that involved Palomino.

    Israel Palomino along with Yoni Aguilar are accused of beheading 13-year-old Mariah Lopez and killing her grandmother Oralia Mendoza.

    On March 22, Turner filed a motion asking the court to dismiss the subpoena filed by Palomino’s defense team.

    It’s unclear right now why the defense attorney’s want these records or how it could shape their defense.

    A hearing will be held on Thursday morning to determine the outcome of this motion.

    Madison County grand jury will hear drug cartel-linked double-murder case that included teen’s beheading

    By Brian Lawson
    WHNT 19 News

    HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A man charged in the killing of a woman and the beheading of her granddaughter was in Madison County Circuit Court Friday, but his trial date could be more than a year away.

    Israel Palomino and co-defendant Yoni Agular are both charged with capital murder in the June 2018 killings of Oralia Mendoza and her 13-year-old granddaughter Mariah Lopez.

    Palomino, 35, was in Madison County Circuit Judge Ruth Ann Hall’s courtroom this morning for a case status conference.

    Palomino listened to the proceedings through an interpreter.

    Tim Gann, chief trial attorney for the Madison County District Attorney’s Office, told the court he expects a grand jury to hear the case against Palomino next month. The case against Aguilar, which is before a different judge, is also expected to be presented to the grand jury next month.

    Gann told Judge Hall that even assuming Palomino is indicted next month, his own trial schedule makes it unlikely the state could bring the case to trial before August 2020.

    The bodies of the woman and the girl were discovered weeks after they were reported missing. A Madison County Sheriff’s Office investigator testified at a preliminary hearing in July 2018 that the murders were tied to Oralia Mendoza’s ties to a Sinaloa drug cartel, according to our news partner AL.com.

    The investigator Stacy Rutherford’s testimony, AL.com reported, included a number of claims about the brutal killings:

    • Mendoza had ties with the Sinaloa Cartel, a drug-trafficking organization.
    • Days before the killings, Mendoza went with three others to pick up a shipment of methamphetamine in Georgia.
    • The situation turned deadly when something went wrong with the trip.
    • Investigators believe that Palomino thought it was a setup.
    • Mendoza was told that she and Mariah Lopez would be taken somewhere safe early June 4.
    • Instead, the two men drove the woman and her granddaughter to Moon Cemetery on Cave Springs Road.
    • Aguilar reported that Mendoza and Palomino argued about the drug buy before Palomino stabbed her with a knife.
    • Aguilar also reported he and Palomino took Lopez to a secluded area because she witnessed the event where Palomino forced him to kill the girl.
    • Aguilar told investigators that Palomino moved his arm in a sawing motion, causing him to behead the girl.
    • Aguilar complied because “he said he was fearful of Israel.”

    Defense attorneys Ron Smith and Nick Heatherly told the judge that because they were still in the discovery process and receiving evidence, it was too soon to estimate when they could be ready for trial.

    Judge Hall noted that she is looking to set a trial scheduled in order to ensure the availability of one of the small pool of experts — usually called by the defense to argue against the death penalty – who are retained in Alabama capital murder cases.
