Homer Munguerza, a 44-year-old Hispanic man from Corpus Christi, Texas, was found shot to death in his home on November 24, 2016 after he failed to attend his family’s Thanksgiving dinner. Investigators tied the killing to a break-in and identified 17-year-old Elishah Trevino as the suspect. Surveillance showed someone using Munguerza’s stolen vehicle and payment cards, evidence that led to Trevino’s arrest.

Trevino initially pleaded not guilty to a capital murder charge but later accepted a plea and pleaded guilty to murder. In April 2018 he was sentenced to 45 years in prison; the possibility of parole was reported after 25 years. Family and friends described Munguerza as a good man taken too soon and expressed their grief and anger during court proceedings.

If anyone knew Homer, saw unusual activity near his home on Thanksgiving Day 2016, or has information relevant to the break-in, please come forward.
