Executed March 6, 2007 06:17 p.m. CST by Lethal Injection in Texas

Summary: During an internal power struggle within the Mexican Mafia in the San Antonio area, Perez sought out Luis “Blue” Adames, who was seeking to replace Herbert Huerta as President. Perez spotted Adames vehicle and along with accomplices Joe Sandoval and Javier Garcia went to arm themselves. Upon their return they engaged in a shootout with Adames supporters, resulting in the deaths of Robert Rivas and Jose Travieso, and wounded Jesse Travieso. Perez was convicted of Voluntary Manslaughter in 1990 and was released on parole in 1992.

He was convicted of racketeering and conspiracy and was sentenced to life in federal prison - a sentence he never served, since he received the death penalty in his state trial.
