El Paso City Council votes to hire consultants in Daniel Villegas civil rights lawsuit EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — The El Paso City Council voted Monday to hire consultants to handle a civil rights lawsuit against the city tied to the case of Daniel Villegas, who was falsely imprisoned for two decades. As KFOX14/CBS4 previously reported, Villegas was convicted of capital murder in 1995 and sentenced to life in prison for the 1993 drive-by shooting deaths of Armando Lazo and Robert England. The conviction was later overturned in 2013, and Villegas was acquitted in 2018. Upon his release, Villegas filed a lawsuit in 2015 against the city of El Paso and several El Paso Police Department officers who handled the case, citing EPPD’s actions “impaired his rights.” At a City Council meeting on Monday, a motion to hire consultants for the civil rights lawsuit passed unanimously.
