Patricia Eifert, 60, was shot to death on July 27, 2021, while helping her daughter move into a new home in Garland, Texas. She was alone in the house when two suspects forced entry through the garage and shot her multiple times. Her body was found later that evening by her son‑in‑law.
Garland Police and the U.S. Marshals Violent Crimes Task Force identified and arrested two suspects: Kvaughandre Presley, 20, of Dallas, and Gabriela Liliana Torres, 21, of Garland. Both were charged with capital murder and taken into custody the next day. Surveillance video reportedly shows the suspects arriving in a black car, burglarizing parked vehicles, entering the house, and then continuing a string of burglaries in the neighborhood before a hit‑and‑run.
Investigators described the killing as a random act; the suspects were not known to Eifert. Bonds were set at $1,000,000 for Presley and $750,000 for Torres. Eifert’s daughter, Annie Bryant, said her mother had just retired and was excited to help settle into the new home.
