Humberto and his brother Daniel were raised in a lower middle-class family. Their father fought alongside Augusto Cesar Sandito, the founder of the Sandinista political faction.

In 1990 accusations arose against Humberto claiming his involvement in the murder and cover up of sixteen-year-old Jean Paul. Ortega's bodyguards allegedly shot and killed the young man, when he attempted to pass the generals motorcade on October 28, 1990. In November of 1990 the Nicuraugan National Assembly, along with experts from the Venisualan Ministry of Justice, began an investigation of this incident. Most of the evidence found by the investigators proved to be circumstantial, and the travel records for the motorcade were never found. Civil District Judge Boanerges Ojeda suggested Ortega's bodyguards, two officers, and Humberto be tried in court; then he passed the case to the military prosecuters office where it was closed in July of 1992.
