Maria Guadalupe Sobrevilla, a 58-year-old Hispanic woman, was shot and killed on the afternoon of November 21, 2016, at a home on Monte Suma Drive in Edinburg, Texas. Deputies found her at the scene with gunshot wounds; the killing was believed to have resulted from a domestic dispute.

The suspect was identified as her estranged husband, 58-year-old Javier Sobrevilla Jr. A warrant was issued and he was arrested on November 26, 2016, at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge while attempting to enter Mexico. He gave two statements in custody: initially denying knowledge or involvement and later admitting he had become angry after a phone conversation with his wife, confronted her at her home, and shot her.

Javier Sobrevilla Jr. was indicted for murder in January 2017, pleaded guilty to a first-degree felony, and the trial court sentenced him to thirty years’ imprisonment. During punishment he argued the court erred by denying a sudden passion defense but the sentence was affirmed.

Did anyone in the Edinburg area know Maria Guadalupe Sobrevilla or have information about the events leading up to November 21, 2016?
