The complaint further alleges that Reyes transported and buried the bodies of Bernal, Chapa and Solis in Pearsall, TX.
Reyes, who remains in federal custody, faces between ten years and up to life in federal prison upon conviction. This complaint resulted from an investigation conducted by the FBI together with the San Antonio Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigations Division, Bexar County Sheriff’s Department and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
A criminal complaint is merely a charge and should not be considered as evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
