An undocumented immigrant faces charges for the fatal shooting of a Texas man in front of his family.
Andres Fernandez de la Paz, a Cuban national, is accused of killing his brother-in-law, Edisky Insencio Pineiro, at a residence in Harris County.
Additionally, it has come to light that Dela Paz was previously arrested for credit card skimming and had a complex history, including a prior murder case. He had made threats against his family before escaping to Mexico. According to KPRC2:
Three law enforcement sources reported to KPRC 2News that Fernandez de La Paz was under investigation by the FBI for a credit card skimming operation prior to his arrest for murder.
His criminal record includes a previous murder case from 2016, which was dismissed the following year due to self-defense claims that could not be substantiated beyond reasonable doubt.
He was arrested by the Sour Lake Police Department in June 2023 after a skimming device was found during a traffic stop in Hardin County. Police stated they caught him shortly after he and two others had placed it on a gas pump.
Raiza Cedeño Sosa, the victim’s wife, described her husband as “a wonderful person.”
“He was a great person. I have no bad memories of him. He was a good father and a friend,” she shared with the media.
Her sister, who had previous ties with De La Paz, noted that he was toxic and violent.
Although an immigration judge ordered De La Paz to be deported in 2019, he remained in the U.S. after the Cuban government refused to take him back, as stated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE).
U.S. immigration and customs officials apprehended Andres Fernandez de Lapas, a 36-year-old undocumented Cuban, following the murder in Harris County. He had been in custody since his initial entry to the U.S. on September 26, 2014, through Brownsville. However, he overstayed the terms of his entry.
Since then, Fernandez has been unlawfully residing in the U.S., accruing multiple convictions, including two for debit and credit card misuse. He is now facing charges in Fort Bend County, Texas, for a third offense related to this. A Department of Justice immigration judge attempted to deport him to Cuba on June 28, 2019, but the Cuban government declined to accept him at that time.
Raiza Cedeño Sosa is seeking the harshest possible sentence for her husband’s murderer.
“What I want from the justice system is justice for my husband’s death. I hope he receives the maximum penalty possible,” she conveyed to reporters.
