Border agent 'trying to clean up streets' found guilty of murdering four sex workers

A Border Patrol agent has been convicted of killing four sex workers after telling investigators he was trying to "clean up the streets".

Juan David Ortiz, 39, confessed to the killings and will receive an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole because prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty.

At the time of his arrest Ortiz was a Border Patrol intel supervisor and admitted to killing Melissa Ramirez, 29, Claudine Anne Luera, 42, Guiselda Alicia Cantu, 35, and Janelle Ortiz, 28.
