Angelica Contreras Harris, 27, was found dead in her Alice, Texas apartment on June 6, 2021, with a single gunshot wound to the head. Police were called to the scene around 2:30 a.m. that morning. Her husband, Howard Harris, was arrested later that same morning after a standoff with law enforcement and charged with her murder; he was booked into the Jim Wells County jail and held on a $500,000 bond.

Angelica worked as a certified nurse’s aide at Meridian Nursing Home and was a mother to two children, Howard Malique Harris and Zarina Sunshine Harris. Family and friends remembered her as caring and dedicated. The case drew intense local attention because of the circumstances of the killing and the criminal proceedings against her husband.

If anyone knew Angelica, her routines, or saw anything on the morning of June 6, 2021, please come forward with information.
