Biography
Estrada was a drug lord who was being investigated by detective Harry Morgan. During the investigation, Estrada became suspicious that one of his employees, Laura Moser, was an informant, and ordered Santos Jimenez to follow her. When Jimenez confirmed her as a mole, he, Estrada, and an enforcer named Juan Pablo Eliso abducted Laura, three other snitches, and Laura's children Dexter Morgan and Brian Moser, taking them to a shipyard, where Estrada ordered Jimenez to kill them. Jimenez then proceeded to kill all the informants with a chainsaw, before the three escaped, leaving Dexter and Brian alive. Estrada was later imprisoned after Jimenez turned informant.

In Season Seven, years after the murder, Maria LaGuerta arranges for Estrada to be released on fictional "health grounds" in order to get the now-adult Dexter to kill him in revenge so she can trap him. Dexter falls into the trap, as he sees Estrada running after a bus and realsise that he is in fact in full health.
