Profile of Serial Killer Juan Ramon Meza Segundo

Early Life and Background

Juan Ramon Meza Segundo was born on January 25, 1963, in Los Angeles, California. Around his first birthday, he moved with his mother and two brothers to El Paso, Texas, to escape his abusive father. The family faced significant hardships, living in a small apartment without running water. Segundo's mother often left the children alone for extended periods, forcing his eight-year-old brother to scavenge for food. The children were once placed in an orphanage before being reunited with their mother, who later married an alcoholic who was also abusive towards them. According to court testimony, Segundo suffered a head injury as a small child, after which he appeared "kind of slow" and "always in a daze." He attended school until the seventh grade.
