A U.S. Border Patrol agent is in custody in connection with the killings of four women and the kidnapping of a fifth in Texas. Cuellar said his department has “very strong evidence” to believe Ortiz killed the women, who he said were sex workers. Ortiz is a 10-year veteran of the Webb County Border Patrol. This is the second Border Patrol agent at the department who has been arrested in a homicide case. Former Border Patrol agent Ronald Anthony Burgos-Aviles, 29, is accused of fatally stabbing his girlfriend and their one-year-old child earlier this year.
