It seems that Ortega-Lopez and Cano were more than just casual friends; they spent a lot of time together.
The prosecution presented images and videos of the two posing together that were shared on social media. Additionally, the images and videos showed that.
Ortega-Lopez and a number of other undocumented immigrants visited the nearby shooting range and discharged a variety of weapons on at least one occasion.
According to reports, Ortega-Lopez was seen handling another AR-style weapon with a silencer in one picture and double-fisting an AR-15-style rifle and a pistol in another.
According to Breitbart, the video also showed Ortega-Lopez shooting the firearm until the ammunition ran out. After that, he inserted a new magazine into the rifle and fired it once again.
Agents found a weapons stash at the neighboring residence of April Cano, Nancy Cano’s daughter, while conducting their investigation.
