Teen pleads guilty to murder, sentenced to 30 years for a Fort Worth shooting
A suspect charged in a Fort Worth shooting during a drug deal that killed one teen and injured another has been sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Edinson Funes, 18, pleaded guilty to murder, Tarrant County District Attorney Phil Sorrells said in a social media post on Friday, Dec. 6.
Alberto Rodriguez Paredones, 18, and another teen were at Buck Sansom Park, at 3600 Sansom Park Drive, on Feb. 22, 2022, when they were shot, Fort Worth police said.
Rodriguez Paredones was pronounced dead at the scene and the other teenage victim was taken to a hospital.
Rodriguez Paredones and the other victim were meeting four suspects including Funes for a marijuana deal, police have said.
The suspects robbed them at gunpoint and fired at them, the district attorney’s office said in a statement on social media.
Samuel Antonio Camarillo, 20, was another of the three suspects who were arrested. He was sentenced to 20 years in April.
Camarillo arranged the drug deal via social media, the district attorney’s office said.
The third suspect arrested in the case was charged as a juvenile, according to court records.
