Jesús Iván Sepúlveda Martínez was living in his parents’ home with his wife and 6-month-old baby. His family says he left Mexico for Austin to seek work painting houses when he was shot to death.

“He seemed happy and I kept telling him to take care of himself and not to separate from the group he was going with,” Sepúlveda Moreno said. According to a probable cause affidavit from the Department of Public Safety, migrants in the group told police that when they stopped at the reservoir, they saw a truck pass, then stop and back up. They hid behind brush and heard someone yell in Spanish, “Come out you sons of bitches, little asses,” the affidavit says.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, took the other migrants into custody. A spokesperson for the El Paso County District Attorney’s Office said that as of Wednesday morning,"the case has not been presented to our office." After school, they would ride Sepúlveda Martínez’s motorcycle to García’s house and play soccer with their friends until it got too dark to play. On the weekends, they would watch local horse races or ride Sepúlveda Martínez’s father’s horses, Bello and Estrella.

Family of Mexican migrant slain in West Texas seek answersThe family of a migrant authorities say was shot to death in Texas by two brothers — including one who was the warden of a detention facility with a history of abuse allegations — are demanding more information this week, as the two men charged in the killing were released from jail. Jesús Iván Sepúlveda, 22, of Durango, Mexico, was identified by family members as the man who was killed in the Hudspeth County shooting that also left one woman injured. Sepúlveda was trying to get to the Texas capital of Austin to reunite with his wife and two children — a 6-month-old and a 3-year-old — and hoped to make enough money to build a home for his family in Mexico, his family said.
