Feds link two Downey men to Sinaloa cartel: One heads to prison, the other is missing
"Julio Cesar Nevarez-Erunez, 24, was sentenced to nearly six years in prison on Dec. 4 after pleading guilty to a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy charge. His co-conspirator, Juan Niebla-Osuna, 28, struck a plea agreement with U.S. attorneys for the same charge and was out on bond, but was reported missing in late August, according to a pretrial services violation petition."
"According to the petition, Niebla-Osuna left his Downey residence after his court-approved curfew on Aug. 25 - the day of his scheduled sentencing in the Eastern District of California. His supervising officer hadn't seen him in weeks; his wife told authorities she was in Mexico and hadn't spoken with her husband since the day before he went missing; his mother noted that there were "suitcases near his bedroom" at his home, according to the petition."
Two men from Downey faced federal sentencing for a methamphetamine distribution conspiracy linked to Mexico's Sinaloa cartel.

Court documents say Niebla-Osuna left after his court-approved curfew on Aug. 25, the day of his sentencing. Officers had not seen him in weeks; his wife was reportedly in Mexico and his mother noted suitcases near his bedroom. Authorities say the men were found with large amounts of meth and fentanyl suspected to be supplied by the Sinaloa cartel.
