Ex-Mexican Mafia Member Rene ‘Boxer’ Enriquez Approved for Parole in California
Two governors previously blocked parole for Rene “Boxer” Enriquez based in part on the argument that he is safer in prison than on the streets. He has been helping law enforcement for nearly two decades.
Rene “Boxer” Enriquez, a former Mexican Mafia hitman who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, has been approved for parole by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
Enriquez was convicted of killing two rival gang members in 1993 as well as participating in a conspiracy to murder and kidnapping. He is also believed to have been involved in at least 10 other murders while he was a member of the Mexican Mafia.
The decision to grant Enriquez parole comes as a surprise to many, given his history of violence. However, it is worth noting that he has been a model prisoner during his 27 years behind bars. He has earned an associate’s degree and a paralegal certificate while in prison, and he has worked as a law clerk and an inmate adviser.
