Kristina Marie Torres, 35, was found dead in her Harlingen apartment at 925 E. Pierce Avenue on March 26, 2022 after a welfare check. Authorities reported multiple gunshot wounds and that she had been deceased for several days before her body was discovered; an autopsy was performed to determine exact cause and time of death.

Family remembered Torres, born December 16, 1986, as outgoing and full of life — someone who loved to sing, dance, and laugh. She is survived by her mother Rosalinda Valdez, sisters Krystal Sosa and Ashley Torres, grandmother Maria Valdez, and two children, Joel A. Martinez and Destiny D. Martinez. Funeral services were held in early April 2022.

Investigators identified 43-year-old John Douglas McCommas as the suspect; he and Torres were known to each other, though the nature of their relationship was not detailed. McCommas was later involved in a separate crime spree and a confrontation with officers that resulted in him being shot and dying the day after Torres was found.
