Chronicle: Hispano sold firearms to the DEA

• Chronicle: Hispano sold firearms to the DEA
• Yamil Torres Rincón traveled several times from Georgia to New York
• Because of uncaring people like him, deaths in the streets are uncontrollable

Chronical: Hispano sold weapons. Over the last three months, Yamil Torres Rincón traveled from Atlanta, Georgia,where he lived, to the Big Apple to do business, which was very lucrative, by the way, on multiple occasions. He always came back with thousands of dollars in his pockets as earnings.

Anyone would think that this «successful businessman» traveled by plane and in first class, but he didn’t. He always traveled in his own vehicle and the reason was obvious, the products that he was going to sell in New York City could not be transported by air, as they were illegal.

Torres Rincón put himself on authorities’ radar

The 38-year-old Hispanic man clandestinely sold all kinds of firearms. How and where did he get them in Georgia? That is still a mystery that the authorities are trying to solve. What is a fact is that, in his quest for quick profits, Torres Rincón made deals with people he should not have.

Without realizing it, the Hispanic man began to do business with the wrong person: an undercover agent from the DEA, the US Drug Enforcement Agency, the most feared by gangsters in the United States and even in other countries. On several occasions the defendant handed the detective weapons.

The time had come for the «prestigious merchant»

On November 12, Torres Rincón arrived in the towns of Manhattan and West Harlem again loaded with weapons and drugs. At some point he agreed to meet with his regular client (the DEA officer) to sell him guns and drugs again. The last time they had seen each other they had made a successful transaction.

On that occasion, the Hispanic man, whose face has not been revealed by federal authorities so as not to affect the investigation that is still ongoing, returned to his home in Atlanta with more than $40,000 in cash profits from the sale. Now he was going to sell the agent 25 weapons, including five assault rifles and 20 pistols. Filed Under: Chronicle Hispano sold weapons

Torres Rincón was a man of his word

The good thing about it is that Torres Rincón kept his word, because he arrived at the place at the agreed time, with all the merchandise he had promised and even more. On this occasion, he was also carrying cocaine, which he also offered to the detective. Being neither slow nor lazy, the agent told him that he was interested in buying that as well.

What he did not know is that right after closing the deal, he was going to be handcuffed and in the back seat of a government patrol car accused of arms trafficking and drug trafficking –  two crimes considered extremely serious in the US and for which he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Several of those weapons were stolen

As expected, the 25 weapons carried by Torres Rincón were analyzed and it turned out that several of them had active theft reports, which further worsens his legal situation. The Hispanic man is now in the process of being questioned by authorities as they try to get as much information as possible about his suppliers and customers.

The worst thing about this case is that those weapons that the man sold were certainly not acquired by normal people who want to do good things, but they probably came into the hands of thugs who only steal, kill and destroy. They could also have fallen into the hands of irresponsible boys who think they are all powerful with a gun in their hands. Filed Under: Chronicle Hispano sold weapons

He shot a man dead just for leaning on his car

One of those cases could be, for example, that of a Latino boy who last October killed another Hispanic boy for the sole reason that he leaned back on his sports car without his consent. The attacker considered this a clear provocation, and he responded aggressively.

Brian Calderón Betancourt, just 18 years old, has already been arrested by Atlanta police on charges of murdering Andrés Muñoz, 23, after a dispute outside the Loca Luna restaurant, near Piedmont Park. It happened because he found him leaning on his sports car, a totally unjustifiable crime. Filed Under: Chronicle Hispano sold weapons

After committing the crime he fled

According to the story given by local authorities, after shooting the victim, Betancourt immediately left the scene. Muñoz, who was a resident of Acworth, was left bleeding on the ground after he had been shot in the chest and later died from his wounds.

Based on the information that investigators gathered, the suspect was arrested a few days later in southeast Atlanta and is currently being held without bail in the Fulton County jail. They have not said anything about the weapon that he allegedly used, but it is known that the defendant did not have a license to carry one. Filed Under: Chronicle Hispano sold weapons

Did he buy it on the black market?

It would be nothing new to learn that the gun was acquired on the street, since that’s how many people who are not authorized to carry weapons often obtain them illegally. That is why I think that people like Torres Rincón, who abound out there, do tremendous damage to society.

The good news is that authorities know and they don’t sit idly by. In fact, they frequently carry out undercover operations like the one in New York. A round of applause for such excellent work, only then will the weapons stop falling into the hands of irresponsible people like Betancourt.
