Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Omar Estrada, 31, was sentenced to 20-years in prison after a plea deal with the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office, which several felony charges were dismissed. Estrada was sentenced to 12-years in prison with 8-years of extended supervision for the August 2017 murder of Angel J. Ortega, 20, at Kaña Mojito in the Southside of Milwaukee.
Estrada was ordered to pay $6,275,00 to Ernestina Ortega in restitution, according to court records.
Estrada's accomplice, José R. Sánchez, 30, aka, "Droopy" is still on the run and police believe he is still in Mexico.
According to the criminal complaint in Milwaukee County, in late August 2017, Sánchez, then 24, and Estrada, then 25, got into an altercation inside the Kaña Mojito Nightclub at the 600 block of S. 5th St. in the Southside of Milwaukee. Club security were able to break it up and remove those involved including Sánchez and Estrada in the altercation over a female. The suspects returned to Kaña after retrieving several handguns (.380 Cal. and .45 Cal.) and began to shoot at patrons exiting Kaña striking a male and a woman including fatally wounding Ortega. Afterwards, Sánchez and Estrada fled the scene and had been on the run, since then. Police believed the suspects fled to Mexico and the U.S. Marshals Service added both suspects to their wanted list in Wisconsin.
Estrada was arrested last Summer in Mexico and extradited to Wisconsin in June in 2022.
Sánchez was charged with three felony counts that include 1st-degree reckless homicide and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted Sánchez is facing up to 60-years in prison; 1st-degree reckless injury and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted, Sánchez is facing up to 40-years in prison, and 1st-degree reckless endangering safety and party to crime and use of a dangerous weapon, if convicted Sánchez is facing up to 12-years and six months in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, according to court records.
