Federal District Judge María Antongiorgi Jordán on Friday sentenced three more defendants on drug trafficking and firearms charges in a case linked to the killing of Puerto Rico Police sergeant Eliezer Ramos Vélez, announced Héctor Ramírez Carbó, interim head of the federal prosecutor’s office in Puerto Rico. Olvin O’Neill Concepción Tapia, known as "Sinfo", and Daniel J. López Vega, known as "Dany", each received 480 months (40 years) in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release.
Andyel González Sáez, known as "Martino", received 336 months (28 years) in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release. The sentencing of a fourth defendant, Luis N. Isaac Sánchez, known as "Chimbo", "CDobleta" or "Dobleta", was rescheduled for October 29, 2026. All the defendants pleaded guilty to narcotics conspiracy (count one) under Title 21 of the US Code, sections 841(a)(1), 846 and 860, and to possession of a firearm in relation to drug trafficking (count seven) under Title 18, section 924(c).

All the defendants admitted participating in the killing of sergeant Ramos Vélez, and their plea agreements apply the murder sentencing guidelines to their cases.
