Tag: Victor Lee Alfaro Trial

EDINBURG — A jury sentenced a 31-year-old Weslaco man on Monday afternoon to 58 years in prison for murdering his former lover’s little brother.

A jury on Friday found a 31-year-old Weslaco man guilty of killing his ex-lover’s little brother six years ago. The verdict came after approximately nine hours of jury deliberations over two days, resulting in Victor Lee Alfaro’s guilty conviction. Jurors found that Alfaro shot and killed 21-year-old Reynaldo Reyes Jr. on May 4, 2016.

EDINBURG — The last piece of evidence jurors heard before closing arguments and breaking for deliberations Thursday was that a key eyewitness for prosecutors lied on the stand.

Defense attorneys on Thursday morning proved a key eyewitness in a murder case against a 31-year-old Weslaco man lied about a supposed jailhouse visit in which the defendent confessed to being high on meth when he killed her little brother. The significant development came as the defense presented its only witness, a Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office lieutenant who brought records of Victor Lee Alfaro’s jailhouse visits dating back to his May 5, 2016 arrest. None of which included a visit by 32-year-old Nancy Arlene Lopez, the key eyewitness in question.
