ODESSA, Texas (AP) —
Four members of a West Texas drug ring have been sentenced to life in federal prison after their convictions of murder in a dispute over crystal methamphetamine.
Authorities said the Odessa residents operated in the oil and gas-rich Permian Basin.
Forty-year-old Raymond Hernandez Olgin Jr., 34-year-old Rudolfo Romero Parades, 40-year-old Stacey Louise Castillo and 32-year-old Anthony Ryan Gonzalez face up to life in prison.
Prior to jury selection, 35-year-old Liz Sanchez Hernandez pleaded guilty to murder. Her son, 18-year-old Brian Adan Hernandez, pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy charge.
Prosecutors argued Olgin and Paredes, along with 35-year-old Noe Garcia Galan, abducted and murdered Sean Michael Lamb over suspicions that he'd stolen a large quantity of crystal meth. Galan and one other man remain at large.
