2 indictments in 2013 murder of teen in Sam Houston National Forest
A joint investigation involving several law enforcement agencies has resulted in the indictments of two men from El Salvador in the September 2013 fatal attack of a teen in the Sam Houston National Forest.
United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced on Friday that Cristian Alexander Zamora, 22, and Ricardo Leonel Campos-Lara, 19, were indicted on murder charges in the death of a 16-year-old boy in the designated federal land. Zamora, also known as Alexander, Alex or Pollo, and Campos-Lara, also known as 'La Muerte,' were scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy on Friday morning.
The indictment, returned on June 18, alleges that Zamora and Campos-Lara helped each other attack the teen with a bat and a machete while in the Sam Houston National Forest on Sept. 22, 2013. If convicted of murder in the U.S., Zamora and Campos-Lara will each face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or the death penalty.
The joint investigation conducted by the FBI, Houston Police Department, Texas Rangers, and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office resulted in the indictments. Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark E. Donnelly will serve as prosecutor in the case.
