Zachary Espino, 23, faces an aggravated kidnapping charge. A co-defendant, 27-year-old Francisco Cisneros, was arrested over the weekend and charged with human smuggling.

According to court records, a witness told Houston police that his friend was being held against his will at an apartment complex on El Paseo near the Medical Center. The smugglers wanted an initial payment of $3,500 sent to a CashApp. The total payment was to be about $10,000, and the exchange was to happen at a nearby gas station on Knight Road.Cisneros, a Mexican national, made his first court appearance, and police issued warrants for the man known as "Flaco," court records state.
