GUILTY Mexico - Texas teen held in murders of 2 Mexican police officers, 19 June 2005

[mysteriew]

Bryan Torres says his jaunt to see a buddy in this border city just across the Rio Grande from his Texas hometown may have been the biggest mistake of his life.

The friend, Daygoro Josue Rivera Contreras, has confessed to killing two Mexican police officers because he didn't have money to pay a bribe during an early-morning traffic stop.

Torres, a U.S. citizen from El Paso who turns 17 Saturday, said he saw the June 19 killings but has denied any role. Mexican authorities are detaining him as a possible accomplice while the case is investigated.

Torres, a U.S. citizen and a former student at El Paso's David L. Carrasco Job Corps Center, was sentenced to two years in prison for being an accomplice in the shooting deaths of two Juárez police officers last year...

On June 19, 2005, Torres crashed at Rivera's Juárez house. That night, Rivera told police that he was stopped by the officers for a traffic infraction and that the officers asked him for a bribe. He said they followed him home, where he fetched a gun, came back out and shot the officers. Torres said he slept through the ordeal but he was arrested as an accomplice.
