Michael Rivera, 33, was one of three people found dead in a motel room at the Super 7 Inn, 10335 Gardner Road in Dallas, on September 26, 2020. The motel manager discovered the bodies around noon and authorities later confirmed identifications; the Dallas County Medical Examiner named the victims two days afterward. The deaths were treated as homicides from the outset.

Police say surveillance footage showed 37-year-old Efrain Cisneros arrive in a black Ford Expedition with gray trim, knock on the motel room door and enter before a shooting. Cisneros and a female passenger then left in the same vehicle. Cisneros was arrested October 15, 2020, charged with capital murder in the killings of Michael Rivera, Rachel Escamilla, 38, and Peggy Bailey, 56, and held at Lew Sterrett Jail on $3 million bail. The motive has not been released and investigators have not publicly detailed any relationship between Cisneros and the victims.

Did anyone in the Dallas area see that black Ford Expedition near Gardner Road on September 26, 2020, or have information about Rivera’s movements that day?
