Randy Xavier Greene, 22, pleaded guilty last week on a conspiracy charge related to a murder-for-hire case. 

Greene admitted to using a phone to accept payment from Brandi Blanco, 32, to kill her estranged husband, Angel Blanco.

The phone calls happened in February of this year.  Brandi Blanco pleaded guilty in mid-August. 

A friend of Greene’s found out and went to Dalhart police.  Police instructed the friend to record audio if Greene spoke with Blanco by phone again. 

Court records said Greene then tried to convince the friend to actually carry out the murder.  The friend acted like he would go along with it.  

Greene and Blanco were planning to use life insurance money to complete the deal.

Green and Blanco will both be sentenced at a later date to no more than five years in federal prison.
