Investigators said Angel Mexico ambushed 42-year-old Lamonte Bush in 2018 while he was standing outside the nightclub that he owned on Wayside while talking to his wife and then-9-year-old daughter.
HOUSTON
Angel Luis Mexico was convicted Tuesday of murder by a Harris County jury after a seven-day trial, Ogg said. After the guilty verdict, Mexico opted to have the judge decide his punishment. State District Judge Kristin Guiney heard testimony from several witnesses, including Mexico, and then sentenced him to life in prison, according to a news release.
Testimony throughout the trial showed that Mexico had a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for domestic violence beginning in the 1980s, Ogg said. According to the DA, Mexico is a Cuban national who testified that he was one of the criminals then-President Fidel Castro released from prison in 1980 who emigrated to the United States.
“Lamonte was well-known and well-liked in the neighborhood, and he was in front of the lounge that he had just opened a few months earlier,” Assistant District Attorney Amanda Benavides said. “Mexico knew that Lamonte had been involved with his adult daughter in the past and did not approve of it.”
