Maria Cuellar, 37, was found dead on December 7, 2015, in Clint, Texas. Her body was discovered in the trunk of her husband’s car, which had been set on fire. The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide, noting a gunshot wound to her torso.

Investigators tied the case to an extramarital affair between Maria and coworker David Miranda; Miranda was found dead two days later with multiple gunshot wounds. Both worked for the Clint Independent School District — Maria as a school bus driver and David as an auto mechanic. Phone records and footprints at the scenes linked Maria’s husband, Vicente Cuellar, and his friend Alan Fraire to the crimes. Detectives concluded it would have required two people to move Maria’s car, set it ablaze, and leave in a second vehicle.

Vicente Cuellar and Alan Fraire were charged with capital murder. Witnesses described Vicente as jealous and said he had been following Maria and David. If anyone knew Maria, David, Vicente, or Alan or has information about the events around those December 2015 deaths, please share what you can.
