It's funny when other journalists have to pick up the slack on lazy journalists who miss these teensy tiny details.
The daughter of a man convicted in the high-profile slaying of a Southlake cartel lawyer is making national news this month as a rare Hispanic supporter of Donald Trump.
Miriam Cepeda, 24, who testified in her father’s trial in May, was featured Wednesday in a CNN report: “Why this Latina campaigns for Donald Trump on the border.”
In the piece, CNN described Cepeda, a graduate student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in Edinburg, as “the daughter of an undocumented immigrant.”
The report details why Cepeda supports Trump, despite his controversial comments about Mexican immigrants and his plans to build a wall along the U.S. border.
But the report doesn’t specifically mention her father, Jose Luis Cepeda-Cortes, 60, who was convicted in a Fort Worth federal court of stalking and conspiring to kill Juan Jesus Guerrero Chapa, a cartel lawyer fatally shot at Southlake Town Square in 2013.
Cepeda-Cortes’ cousin Jesus Gerardo Ledezma-Cepeda, 59, was also convicted in the trial. Ledezma-Cepeda’s adult son pleaded guilty in the case before it went to trial.
All three men are awaiting sentencing this year. Cont.
