Silvia Munoz Vasquez, 35, was shot and killed in Houston, Texas, on October 31, 2016. Her husband, Rogelio Flores, a former state police commander from Mexico, was identified as the shooter; the couple reportedly had a history of loud arguments but no known record of prior physical violence. Flores called his brother and confessed to shooting Silvia, then fled with the couple’s 12-year-old son toward Mexico.

Harris County sheriff’s deputies arrested Flores within hours near Victoria, Texas, without incident. He said he was a U.S. citizen working as a truck driver. Silvia’s family in Tamaulipas, Mexico, was working to repatriate her body. Investigators noted Flores had ties to former Tamaulipas governor Eugenio Hernandez, who is a fugitive from corruption charges.

The killing devastated Silvia’s family and community; her mother, also named Silvia Vasquez, spoke about the pain of the loss. Does anyone have information about Silvia’s life in Houston or connections that might shed light on the days before October 31, 2016?
