an Hidalgo County jury decided to send Humberto "Gallo" Garza III to death row for planning the murders of 6 men on Jan. 5, 2003.
One day earlier, the same jury found Garza, 30, guilty on of 1 count murder and one count of capital murder on charges he planned and coordinated a drug raid.
Garza pleaded not guilty to the charges that he planned to steal a large amount of marijuana thought to be in the house, called a group of gang members together and drove them to the house. Police said he waited in a vehicle nearby as the masked men charged the home with assault weapons and shot each of the six men several times.
370th state District Judge Noe Garza formally sentenced Garza to death row.
Garza is the 2nd man to receive the death penalty in connection with the slayings. In December, a jury sentenced Juan Raul Navarro Ramirez to die for the slayings. Another man charged in the murder, Robert Gene Garza, is already on death row for killing four Donna women in 2002.
The victims were: brothers Jerry Hidalgo and Ray Hidalgo; half brothers Juan Delgado Jr. and Juan Delgado III; Ruben Castillo and Jimmy Almendariz.
