4 accused of nabbing Horizon City [Texas] man who was later found slain in Juárez
EL PASO, Texas — Authorities filed aggravated kidnapping charges against four men in the abduction of a Horizon City man who was later found slain in Jurez with his arms chopped off.
Investigators haven’t determined whether Sergio Saucedo was killed in the U.S. or Mexico, and they could bring further charges once they do.
Brothers Omar and Cesar Obregon, both 21-year-old illegal immigrants from Mexico, were arrested Wednesday by U.S. Border Patrol agents who spotted them trying to break into a house, El Paso County Sheriff’s Cmdr. Paul Cross said Thursday. They were being held at the El Paso County jail on $250,000 bond each, Cross said.
