A New Jersey man tried to hire a “cheap” hitman to kill a 13-year-old girl in Texas, federal prosecutors say.
Armando Conceicao, 57, was indicted this week on charges of conspiracy to commit murder for hire and causing another to travel interstate or using interstate facilities with intent that a murder for hire be committed, the Department of Justice said in a press release.
Though prosecutors have not revealed a motive in the alleged murder-for-hire scheme or identified the intended victim, an indictment provides chilling details on the lengths prosecutors say Conceicao was willing to go to take out the teen—and allegedly her family, too, if they got in the way.
