NEAR EDINBURG — A 34-year-old man died from 11 stab wounds at an Edinburg hospital Monday morning, deputies said.

Hidalgo County Sheriff's deputies responded to Edinburg Regional Medical Center, where a doctor said LeeRoy Berrones, 34, arrived at the hospital and seemed to be "highly intoxicated and unresponsive to questions," Sheriff Lupe Treviño wrote in a statement.

Doctors removed Berrones' shirt and found nine stab wounds on the left side of his rib cage, one in his chest and another on his left arm. During emergency surgery, doctors learned Berrones' heart had been punctured and he was bleeding internally.

Berrones died during surgery.

The doctor went to meet with Cristina Berrones, the woman who brought LeeRoy to the hospital, but she and another man had already left.

Berrones' 15-year-old daughter arrived later and said she had been at her cousin's baptism party at 2003 E. Alberta Road earlier that night.

The woman told deputies a man at the party was bothering her and that her father — Berrones — told him to stop. The man became angry and began to assault Berrones, deputies said.

Berrones' daughter tried to stop the man from assaulting her father, but she was pushed to the ground, deputies said.

Berrones was then stabbed 11 times by the man, deputies said, while another held him on the ground.

Through corroborating statements and a photo lineup, investigators implicated Jorge Armando Romero Martinez, 27, and Jesus Torres, 28, in Berrones' murder.

Torres allegedly held Berrones to the ground while Martinez allegedly stabbed him during the argument. Warrants have been issued for both men, who face murder charges.

Berrones is a documented Valluco gang member, the sheriff said. Martinez and Torres illegal immigrants and Texas Syndicate gang members, he said.

The gang ties do not appear to have motivated the alleged murder, Treviño said.

This story is full of holes and didn't make much sense.

The gang ties do not appear to have motivated the alleged murder, Treviño said.

And there are no illegals crossing the borders daily.

Not to worry just more of their Family Values coming north with the ILLEGALS!

Nice to see those wonderful family values are not stopping at the Rio Grande...
