On the afternoon of Sunday, September 14, 2014, Byron Lamar Caceres, 23, of Norcross, was found shot to death inside an apartment in the 200 block of Franklin Road in Sandy Springs, Georgia. He and 27-year-old Eulalio Freddie Mederos-Vega were discovered by Mederos-Vega’s wife, both victims of apparent gunfire. Police responded about 6:30 p.m. and initially had no suspects or clear motive.

A key break came from a traffic stop in Mobile, Alabama, which led to the arrest of 25-year-old Zusi Aguirre of Mableton; she was charged with two counts of felony murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and was later extradited to Georgia. Investigators also arrested Martin Montanez, who was ultimately found guilty in connection with both deaths. Aguirre made her first Fulton County court appearance in October 2014 and was denied bond.

The motive for the killings has not been disclosed to the public.
