of shooting

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Police claim an FBI informant's hidden
tape recorder captured the sound of him firing eight rounds into a
Colorado Springs house.
Authorities say seven people were in the house during the Feb. 14
attack but none were hurt.
Forty-four-year-old Robert Rodarte (roe-DAHR'-tay) is being held on
suspicion of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder and a
weapons violation.
His attorney, Cynthia McKedy (mick-KEE'-dee), declined to comment
Thursday.
An arrest warrant affidavit says Rodarte was a gang member who agreed
to wear the hidden recorder for an FBI-led task force investigating
alleged drug trafficking by gangs.
Police say the attack on the house was in retaliation for an earlier
assault.
Authorities say the FBI has severed its ties with Rodarte.

Attempted 'massacre' of rivals blamed on rogue FBI informant

An FBI drug probe spun wildly out of control in Colorado Springs last
February when a federal informant went off-script and shot up a home
belonging to one of the agency’s chief targets, documents show.
The FBI mole — a felon and reputed gang member named Robert “Payaso”
Rodarte — was paid to set up a Feb. 14 meeting with suspected players
in a gang-related drug ring while wearing a hidden recorder for
federal investigators.
Afterward, authorities allege, Rodarte and four accomplices used the
occasion to seek vengeance against street rivals.
According to court documents, Rodarte’s hidden recorder was on and
captured the sound of someone spraying bullets into a home in the 700
block of East Cucharras Street. Seven people were inside, including
three young children. A woman and her 4-year-old son were nearly
wounded.
“It was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day Massacre,” said Diane
Baltazar, who said that she and the other occupants of the home
gathered up children and scrambled for cover after one bullet pierced
her daughter’s pant leg and another passed within inches of the boy.
The investigation was spearheaded by the FBI Safe Streets Gang Task
Force, a multiagency unit that includes members of the Colorado
Springs Police Department.
Police spokesman Lt. David Whitlock declined to comment, saying the
shooting was part of an ongoing probe, and he referred questions to
the FBI. An agency spokeswoman, Special Agent Kathy Wright, did not
return a phone message.
The FBI investigation that spawned the rogue informant appears to be
the same effort that eventually led to the October arrests of 16
people suspected in drug ring tied to the La Familia street gang, a
local cell of the Sureños.
The FBI said it quickly ended its relationship with the 44-year-old
Rodarte and arrested all five men.
The other suspects were identified as 35-year-old James Edward
“Puppet” Cisneros; 24-year-old Jose Lorenzo “Joey” Salazar; 30-year-
old Frankie Orlando Salazar; and 35-year-old Richard “Richie” Dydell.
They were booked into El Paso County jail on suspicion of attempted
murder.
The five wanted to avenge a daring robbery in September 2008 in which
three men beat up Salazar in the parking lot of the The Bean Bandit
restaurant on North Circle Drive and took $30,000 worth of drugs,
court documents said. They blamed Jorge “Wicked” Perez, reputedly a
rival gang member and the target of the FBI’s undercover drug
operation, court records said.
Perez wasn’t home on the night of the Feb. 14 shooting, but his
girlfriend and children were.
Rodarte was recruited as an informant by a police detective assigned
to the task force, and had been used in several earlier
investigations, an arrest affidavit said.
Perez was arrested during a series of raids Oct. 6 targeting the La
Familia drug ring. In one of the raids that day, a police and federal
SWAT team stormed a Colorado Springs home in the 200 block of South
Prospect Street in search of drugs and instead found Rose Ann
Santistevan, Baltazar’s disabled mother, lying alone in bed with her
oxygen tank.
The 69-year-old suffered a heart attack and was taken to Memorial
Hospital in critical condition, authorities confirmed. She was
eventually released, though her family said her health has been frail
since the episode.
Several other members of the family were arrested Oct. 6 on suspicion
of gang-related drug activity
