**Three Ensenada Men Receive 60-Year Prison Sentences for Murder**
In a landmark decision by the General Prosecutor’s Office of Baja California, three men have been sentenced to 60 years in prison for their involvement in a double murder in Ensenada. The individuals, identified as Reyes Eleazar López Santillán, also known as “El Cuajis,” Isaí Arredondo Ramírez, or “El Gambo,” and Bernardo Hernández Rauda, nicknamed “El Chapo” or “El Píldoras,” were found guilty of qualified homicide and criminal association.
This outcome is the result of a thorough investigation by the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Crimes Against Life, which successfully presented evidence during a public trial confirming the defendants’ roles in the crime. The murder took place on February 26, 2021, at the “Tacos El Poblano” stand in Ensenada. The victims, Iván and Renato, were targeted and killed after being ambushed by members of the gang, who were tipped off by “El Cuajis.” “El Gambo” was reported to have ordered the murder beforehand.
At the scene, Bernardo Hernández and an accomplice opened fire on the victims, leading to their deaths from severe injuries. The comprehensive evidence presented by the prosecution led the judge to impose a 60-year sentence for each convict, in addition to ordering compensation for the victims’ families.
