From US Marine to Drug Kingpin
Angel Dominguez Ramirez Jr.'s turn from a U.S. Marine to the leader of a Mexican drug trafficking cell can be traced back to the night of Nov. 29, 1994.
That’s when he swerved to avoid hitting a deer on a back road in North Carolina and flipped his car off a bridge into the water. He was seriously injured, forcing a medical discharge from the Marines and ending his dream of joining a special operations unit. Even more devastating, his two daughters, ages 3 and 4, who were in the backseat, were killed.
After the accident and end of his Marine career, he struggled to find work and deal with his trauma, his lawyer wrote.
When he was 27, he agreed to deliver a load of marijuana after it was crossed from Mexico and was arrested in Texas. He pleaded guilty and served 13 months in federal custody.
