Border Patrol agent’s brother faces drug trial in Texas case
Investigators tied border agent Joel Luna to a cartel weapons and drug operation after a headless body surfaced near South Padre Island. Prosecutors say a safety of documents and cash found in a relative’s home tied Luna and his brothers to the scheme, while defense argues guilt by association. The case stems from the 2015 death of Jose Francisco Rodriguez Palacios Paz and involves alleged connections to a tire shop in Edinburg.
