The final member of a group of four who catfished a 22-year-old man, then lured him to a Texas home to kill him, has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Cyle Flores, 18, pleaded guilty to murder in the shooting death of 22-year-old Israel Martinez on Sept. 19, 2021, KWTX reported.
His co-defendants, Jeremiah Marquez, 18, Justin Angel Hernandez, 22, and Edgar Alfonso Castillo, 17, also entered guilty pleas. Marquez and Hernandez were sentenced to 35 years, while Castillo will serve 30 years in prison.
Authorities say the group set up a phony Facebook account with a photo of a woman they named Kaelani Moore. They then used the account to contact Martinez through Facebook Messenger and lured him to a home in Waco, Texas, under the assumption he was meeting said woman.
