A Hanford man was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday for hiring a hit man to kill another man over a labor dispute, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported.
Johnny Jaramillo, 50, met with and texted an undercover agent in December and January to arrange the killing in exchange for guns, according to a criminal complaint filed in the eastern district of federal court.
The undercover agent first met with Jaramillo on Dec. 15 in the Food 4 Less parking lot in Selma, where the agent bought three guns for $6,000, the complaint says. During the meeting, Jaramillo, a nurse, asked the undercover agent to kill a man by injecting him with 300 units of insulin to put the intended victim in a coma.
