Andrew Reyna has pleaded not guilty to murder charges in the 2021 killing of Mexican Mafia member Samuel “Negro” Villalba. Leticia Gamboa testified the message was relayed through David Oropeza, who like Reyna belonged to the Eastside Paramount gang. Reyna’s lawyer, Theodore Batsakis, said his client denies killing Villalba but declined to comment further. After speaking in a hushed tone, Gamboa testified, Oropeza hung up, turned to Reyna and said, “Go handle that.”According to the detective, Oropeza told Reyna to take a “youngster” with him. Oropeza’s attorney, Kevin McGurk, argued that prosecutors couldn’t prove his client agreed to murder Villalba.
