Department of Public Safety investigators say 48-year-old John Guevara, a member of the Mexican Mafia in Texas, has an extensive criminal record that includes convictions for assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, burglary, drug counts and parole violation. Guevara was paroled in 2012, but a warrant was issued for him in 2013 for a parole violation related to a 1997 aggravated robbery in Halletsville.
