WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The last of four young men charged in the 2021 shooting death and robbery of a man who was lured to South Waco by a fake social media account was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday.
Cyle Flores, 18, joined Jeremiah Marquez, 18, Justin Angel Hernandez, 22, and Edgar Alfonso Castillo, 17, in pleading guilty to murder in the shooting death of 22-year-old Israel Martinez.
Marquez, Castillo and Flores were juveniles at the time of the offense and were certified to face the charges as adults. All four initially were charged with capital murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of murder in plea bargains with the McLennan County District Attorney’s Office.
Judge Susan Kelly of Waco’s 54th State District Court sentenced Flores to 25 years in prison Thursday. Pre
