The investigation began after the estate of Ignacia Gutierrez reported missing livestock on February 1. Witnesses observed unauthorized individuals on horseback and vehicles at the ranch. Becerra admitted to hiring others to remove cattle, which were sold at the Edinburg Livestock Auction for $15,393.90. Becerra faces charges of theft and criminal trespass, while Flores has been released on bond.
