Purported gunman in custody after 15 years

A Brownsville man charged with the capital murder of two teenagers was turned over to police by Mexican authorities on Wednesday.

Javier Cisneros Campos, 35, was on the run for thirteen years prior to being taken into custody by Brownsville police shortly after noon at the B&M International Bridge. Cisneros was then transported to Carrizalez Rucker County Jail.

Cisneros was wanted by police for the murder of Juan Godinez, 18, and Alfredo Rincon Jr., 16. The slayings took place after midnight at Rincon's home, 5512 Amatista, on April 24, 1995. They were shot multiple times with an AK-47 assault rifle, according to Brownsville Herald archives.

Rincon's body was found between the living room and hallway while Godinez's body was found in the living room.

Cisneros was indicted for capital murder in August 1995 and for possession of a controlled substance in October of the same year.

Police believe the shooting was the result on an ongoing dispute between Ricardo Martinez and the teenagers.

Rincon was told by his sister that a boy exposed himself to her and a day later Rincon and Godinez were killed for defending her, according to Herald archives. Police believe Martinez, who pleaded guilty to capital murder charges, ordered the attack on the teenagers. Cisneros is believed to have been the one pulling the trigger and David Martinez, Ricardo's brother, is believed to have been driving the getaway car. David Martinez earlier this year was sentenced to two years in prison in the case.

According to Brownsville police Lt. Orlando Rodriguez, the arrest by Mexican authorities was a cooperative effort between American and Mexican law enforcement agencies. Cisneros had been hiding out in Matamoros under the alias of Mario Alberto Cuellar Garcia.

"We're really happy to finally have him behind bars," Rodriguez said. "This is the third and final arrest in this case. We can move forward and get this case to court for prosecution."
