CHICAGO (WLS) — An alleged Chicago leader of the Latin Kings gang is accused of putting a bounty out for Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino.
Espinoza Martinez is charged with murder-for-hire.
The Department of Homeland Security says someone sent them an image from Snapchat, where Martinez allegedly offered $10,000 for Bovino’s murder and $2,000 for information.
“Depraved individuals like Juan Espinoza Martinez – who do not value human life and threaten law enforcement- do NOT belong in this country. We will not allow criminal gangs to put hits on U.S. government officials and our law enforcement officers,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Thanks to ICE and our federal law enforcement partners, this thug is off our streets and behind bars. These attacks on our brave law enforcement officers must END. Secretary Noem has been crystal clear: If you threaten or lay a hand on law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
