Prosecutors found the case against one of the alleged shooters — Alexander Villa, known as “Flip” — was lacking and refused to file charges.
After Villa’s release, CPD kept trying to strengthen the case against him. The efforts involved a joint operation with federal authorities. The operation, dubbed Snake Doctor, sought to dismantle the gang and generate witnesses against Villa, according to internal police records obtained by his attorney. Within five weeks of the killing, police had arrested 122 people tied to the gang, according to a CPD deputy chief’s tally.
