MCALLEN, Texas – Two Mexican men will serve a combined 197 years in federal prison for their roles in a rip crew, carrying out several carjackings, home invasions and drug crimes.
At a federal trial in McAllen this week, jurors convicted Marin Macrin Cerda, 34, and Jose Miguel Montemayor, 30, of terrorizing more than 35 people, including a woman who was 8-months pregnant and 11 children as young as 5-years-old.
Prosecutors say Cerda, who goes by the nickname “Filtro,” and Montemayor, who is known as “El Mickey,” were part of a “rip crew,” gang members who routinely targeted drug traffickers and innocent people along the Texas-Mexico border.
Prosecutors accused Cerda and Montemayor of firing weapons on highways and neighborhoods to carry out violent carjackings and home invasions.
The judge presiding over the case noted during the trial that when she was first sworn in as a federal judge, these types of criminal activities were more often seen in Mexico but have become more common on the border.
“These defendants were the leaders of Los Mickies, a violent criminal organization that supported drug trafficking activities by engaging in multiple carjackings, home invasions and a neighborhood shootout,” said Special Agent in charge of the FBI Christopher Combs. “The significant sentences imposed today send a strong message to anyone who thinks they can conduct violent acts in our neighborhoods. We will not tolerate those who violate the peace and safety of our communities and recklessly endanger the public.”
Cerda was sentenced to 113 years in prison and Montemayor was handed an 84-year sentence.
