Henry admitted that he and others held the victims captive in the apartment, and Ceniceros-Deleon admitted that he and others withdrew cash from the victims' bank accounts at local ATMs. Both men admitted that their co-conspirators taunted the victims based on their perception of the men's sexual orientation.
Ceniceros-Deleon also admitted to being the gunman in a Dec. 2017 carjacking of a gay man. Ceniceros-Deleon said he and others used Grindr to lure men to a location where they forced them at gunpoint to drive them to an ATM and withdraw cash from their accounts. Ceniceros-Deleon is scheduled to be sentenced in April. A sentencing hearing has not yet been set for Henry.
