HOUSTON - A woman is on the run after being charged with murder for luring a man to his ambush death at the hands of machete-wielding MS-13 gang members.
Authorities are now asking for the public's help in finding Karla Jackelin Morales. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced on Wednesday that a reward is being offered for information that leads to her capture.
"She helped plan and plot this vicious execution, and somebody out there knows where she is hiding," Ogg said. "You can do the right thing by helping deliver justice for Jose's family, and you can collect a reward for your efforts."
Five MS-13 gang members, who hacked 24-year-old Villanueva with a machete and shot him to death, have already been convicted and sentenced to prison. Morales is the last to face trial.
She was set for trial on Oct. 25 and was free on a $60,000 bond.
Just five days before trial, Morales cut off her GPS ankle monitor and absconded. She has since been charged with bond jumping.
Ogg said that authorities will not ask the immigration status of potential tipsters, and they can remain anonymous, even when they get paid.
According to authorities, Morales lured Villanueva on July 29, 2018 to a grassy field near a Spring elementary school to smoke marijuana as a belated birthday gift.
Once he got there, several MS-13 members hacked him with machetes, and then, as he tried to crawl away, shot him repeatedly with a handgun
.
Villanueva's mutilated and decomposing remains were found days later.
Investigators say the victim had been hiding from the gang members, who were searching for him for allegedly disparaging MS-13 in a rap-music battle.
Morales and the gang planned the scheme to lure Villanueva into the ambush for weeks before the murder.
Morales, 20, goes by the nicknames "Cherry," "Karlita," "Missy," and "Foxy."
She is 5 feet tall with a heavy build. She has black hair and brown eyes, as well as tattoos, including a large one on her upper left chest that reads "Alicia."
Authorities believe Morales, who was born in California and has family in Honduras and El Salvador, may still be in the Houston area.
Back when Morales was charged with murder, prosecutors asked a magistrate judge to set her bond at $250,000. The judge instead set it at $100,000.
A district court judge later lowered the bond to $60,000 and waived the defendant's fees for an ankle monitor.
She failed to show up for a hearing days before her trial was to begin and hasn't been seen since.

The body was dumped in my neighborhood. The appartments are in weird stretch between our neighborhood and Shepherd that is a jumble of large acreage residential lots, businesses, and old independent / small multifamily units.
2 very different worlds that typically stay to themselves even though a community park in the middle is equally used.
Constables do a great job keeping our neighborhood safe. They were already investigating the dumped body and had camera footage of the time dumped, suspects, and vehicle before the original crime scenes were found.

My cousin lives with his fiancee in a gated townhome development on that street basically right across the street from the apts where the shootout happened. He had gnarly nest footage of the shootout from the complex and you could hear crazy gunfire, see a bullet strike their gate and spark, and hear the car speed off.
Then yesterday afternoon he sent video of them announcing on intercom they had a warrant for unit xx.

According to him, there was a balloon release for the fallen and the "homies" were still out there at night jamming Pac and Bone Thugs.
Their nest cam caught audio an even more shocking gun fight months ago at like 3pm on a beautiful weekday. It came from the extension of those apts that is right next door to their townhomes so it was even louder. Almost sounded like a full auto weapon was being used.
Those streets were always dicey and lots of drug/gang activity, but there must be turf wars because only in the past year has it descended into cartel type sh**.
If you can zoom, those guys outside of the MRAP, or whatever that thing is, look like special forces or mercenaries.

Houston-area law enforcement officials voiced frustration toward Harris County judges this week for dismissing a large number of criminal cases amid an ongoing crime surge in the region, saying criminals are feeling emboldened by lax penalties for violent offenders.
Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said he was notified several months ago by District Attorney Kim Ogg that judges and magistrates had slated thousands of cases for dismissal. Her prosecutors were left with no choice but to dismiss the cases, he said.
Quote:
"Harris County is being razed by murderers, rapists, robbers and thieves," he said. "There's nothing more frustrating for law enforcement officers to go out there and do their job and do it with the utmost responsibility, but when it's turned around on us and we have a part of the system that just refuses to work, it's discouraging."
We were calling it the same 30 years ago when I was in high school. I grew up in the Klein and Tomball area.Sea Speed said:

The crazy part is the bridgeland and Cy park. Really comparing the make up of the population. Both schools are about 2 miles apart. One is a high socioeconomic status and the other is really low
