His funeral services were held at Funeraria Del Angel Highland Funeral Home, where family and friends gathered to pay their respects.
The circumstances surrounding Jesus De Jose Hinojosa's death were connected to a violent
incident that occurred outside a convenience store in Weslaco. On the day of his death, Jesus was fatally shot by Jose Angel Becerra, a 22-year-old man from Elsa, Texas. Becerra, along with his brother Isaac Becerra, attempted to rob Jesus and another man, Alejandro Mendoza, during a drug-related incident. The shooting resulted in Jesus' death and left Alejandro Mendoza injured.
Following the incident, Jose Angel Becerra was charged with capital murder and attempted capital murder. He was eventually convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. His brother, Isaac Becerra, also faced charges related to the shooting. Isaac pleaded guilty to murder and attempted capital murder and was sentenced to 35 years in prison.
The legal proceedings for the Becerra brothers were extensive and involved multiple court hearings and bond reductions. Jose Angel Becerra initially fled to Alabama but was later captured and returned to Texas to face trial. Isaac Becerra remained in custody throughout the legal process and was eventually sentenced.
The tragic death of Jesus De Jose Hinojosa and the subsequent legal actions against the Becerra brothers highlight the devastating consequences of violent crime and the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families.
