It took almost a decade, but mounting U.S. pressure to capture a Mexican cartel leader wanted for a sensational daylight murder in a busy and affluent Southlake shopping center paid off.
José Rodolfo Villarreal Hernández, a cartel boss known as “El Gato” or “the Cat,” was one of the most wanted men in Mexico, with a $1 million U.S. bounty on his head. The feds say he ordered the brazen, 2013 mob-style murder of a cartel lawyer at Southlake Town Square over a personal grudge he harbored for years after the murder of his father.
