Yajaira Sarahy Alvarez Hernandez was a 28-year-old Hispanic woman from Houston who died of a gunshot wound to the head on May 19, 2021. Her body was discovered in her apartment on May 22, 2021; neighbors said they heard a loud argument and a gunshot on May 19 followed by silence. The scene suggested staging and cleanup: the body appeared to have been manipulated into a pose and there were attempts to clean up possible blood spatter.

Investigators documented prior domestic violence, including an earlier incident in which her boyfriend, 28-year-old Isac Marrugo, reportedly attacked her with a coffee pot. Marrugo was arrested on May 20, 2021, in Centerville, Texas, for unlawful possession of a firearm; while being taken into custody he reportedly said he would flee if released. His mother found Yajaira’s body while seeking a ride to bail him out. Marrugo was charged with murder in Harris County and the case was pending in the 184th Criminal District Court.

Does anyone have information about Yajaira’s last days, the argument neighbors described, or details that could help clarify what happened?
