Fernando Garza Funeral Expenses:
It is with profound sadness and a heavy
heart that I share the news of the passing of my beloved brother Fernando
Garza. He was a special person that would always be there to cheer you up or
give you a helping hand. He was the life of any party and had a special
ability to make friends anywhere he went. He had so many hopes and dreams for
his future and he was taken too soon from us. He meant so much to so many
people. He was a great friend, a caring brother, and loving son. And he will be
terribly missed.
We are asking friends and family if you
can contribute whatever you can to help cover the cost of funeral and burial
expenses for our dear Fernando. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated.

Judge sets deadline for death penalty in murder
case

November 20, 2019
A state district judge on Wednesday set a deadline
for the Hidalgo County District Attorney’s Office to inform two people accused
of capital murder whether the state would pursue the death penalty.
State District Judge Israel Ramon Jr. ordered the
state to make a decision on capital punishment by Dec. 12 in the case of
28-year-old Mission resident Edna Rivera and 26-year-old Peñitas resident Julio
Cesar De Leon, who nearly had an altercation Wednesday with another inmate
waiting for a hearing.
The pair is charged along with 20-year-old Mission
resident Alfredo Huerta over accusations they kidnapped and murdered
22-year-old Fernando Garza Jr. on July 24.
During the hearing, which was over De Leon’s
attorney’s efforts to get the state’s current witness list, the suspect
interrupted the proceedings to say that he wanted a bond hearing, claiming that
he had been denied a chance at having a bond hearing.
Court records in his case do not indicate a bond
reduction motion has been filed and a search of civil cases for a habeas corpus
filing did not return any results for his current case.
The near-altercation occurred after the hearing,
when Ramon allowed De Leon a brief moment with his mother, who was in the court
gallery.
The two embraced near another inmate who repeatedly
cursed and laughed to himself throughout court proceedings.
When he cursed near De Leon, De Leon turned around
and loudly told the man not to disrespect his mother.
Deputies intervened and calmed the situation.
As for Rivera, her attorney, Jaime Aleman,
successfully argued for a reduction on her $580,000 in bonds on multiple
charges in the case.
Her bond now stands at $158,000, but it’s unclear
whether she would be free if she bailed out because she has an immigration
detainer.
Ramon also allowed Rivera a brief moment with her
family.
The victim’s family, who has been attending the
hearings, was also in the courtroom.
In a statement, Garza’s mother, Yadira Herrera,
said grief is a difficult process and vowed the family would remain a voice for
their loved one, who can no longer speak for himself.
“Fernando was 22 years young when those
cowards chose to end his life and every time we step into that courtroom is a
reminder of how cruel and violent they were towards him,” the statement
“Each day that goes by his absence weighs
heavier in all of our hearts because we are aware that at the end of all of
this Fernando will still not walk through the front door nor will I ever hear
an I love you again.
“We seek justice and in order to
accomplish that we are uniting as his voice because Fernando’s is six feet
underground.”
Huerta, the third suspect, is scheduled to appear
in court in early December.
