Cora Nickle, 27, was found dead at her home on Maverick Draw in San Antonio on August 20, 2020. Her 8-year-old child discovered the body and sent a text to the child’s grandmother raising alarm. The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide from a gunshot wound.

Investigators identified 29-year-old Jorge Izquierdo as a suspect. Neighbors told police they had heard arguments between Cora and Izquierdo on several occasions before the killing. Izquierdo was arrested and charged with murder; the indictment alleges he intentionally and knowingly caused Cora’s death by shooting her with a deadly weapon.

The case underscores the deadly consequences of domestic violence and the toll on surviving family members. If anyone knew Cora, her household, or observed troubling incidents at the Maverick Draw residence before August 20, 2020, please share what you remember.
