Viktoria Robles, 32, was found dead in her Houston apartment on El Mundo Street on May 9, 2022. Court documents say she was shot in the head during an argument on Mother’s Day; a single spent shell casing was found on the bedroom floor and her body was discovered with a cell phone in her right hand. Investigators reported no apparent struggle inside the apartment.

Her boyfriend, James Christopher Ochoa, 33, left the scene and went to his mother’s home in the Austin area with their one-month-old daughter before later turning himself in to the Cedar Park Police Department and admitting to the shooting. Ochoa was charged with murder; he told authorities the shooting was self-defense during a struggle over a handgun, a claim the court documents and police investigation did not support. Ochoa had a 2021 arrest for felony assault of a pregnant person.

Robles’ family has been left grieving and is contesting custody of the infant, who was initially placed with Ochoa’s mother; Child Protective Services and law enforcement have been involved. The family also launched a GoFundMe for funeral expenses and legal fees. Did anyone know Viktoria or have information about her last hours that could help the investigation?
