Federal prosecutors say a Latin King gang leader offered a $10,000 bounty for the killing of a senior immigration enforcement officer after an ICE agent shot a woman in Chicago this weekend. A source familiar with the investigation identified the intended target as Commander Gregory Bovino, who has been leading the Border Patrol’s high-profile “Midway Blitz” operation in the city.
Juan Espinoza Martinez, 37, known by the street name “Monkey,” is accused of offering $10,000 reward for Bovino’s murder and $2,000 for information about Bovino’s location.
Investigators linked Martinez to the communications through subscriber records and a phone number tied to his CashApp account. Surveillance teams later observed him driving a red 2014 Ford pickup truck registered in his name near the gang’s stronghold in Little Village.
The complaint states Martinez has the authority to order violent acts including murder and notes the gang’s long-standing reputation for carrying out “hits” against rivals and law enforcement.
Martinez is charged with murder-for-hire.

And Pritzker and the idiot mayor protect him and the other gangsters.
Let’s put a 100k bounty on “monkey.”
Money needs to rot behind bars.
Monkey needs to rot behind bars.

so why is he still breathing?
,,, it’s the death penalty in Thailand for being caught with drugs. Start talking about it in the US and things will slow down. Legislate it and it will mean production will continue but distribution will get shakey. Any politician who goes against the idea may just be on the take.

But you first have to live to collect...
Amusing but probably once the Civil War II is officially designated as such, the side bets and hit bounties will be invalid.

RE: so why is he still breathing?
I say that every day to the TV set when I watch “certain politicians” of “certain political persuasions” saying “certain things” on the news.
😉
(Nod to Hillary for style of innuendo.)
Perhaps the government should return the favor: $10K dead or alive.
How can the gang leader guarantee that the payoff cash will be unmarked bills and nonsequential ones?
Maybe bitcoin? Or payoff in best seats tickets to playoffs, Superbowl and Taylor Swift concerts.
And we will later have to remember it should be “hitperson” rather than the old “hitman” in the news later.

We need to employ the death penalty more often. This kind of stuff NEEDS to stop.

And specify that we mean that one in the gang, not the many on the Dem side of the aisle in Congress.
It will have to be a Federal prosecution to impose a death sentence. The Democrats abolished the death penalty in Illinois.
Better a Hellfire missile.
The post states they observed him in his vehicle but didn’t stop and arrest him? What did I miss here?
I’d say a couple 105 shells from an AC130, but there’d probably be a little too much collateral damage.
And the democraps cheer
