Ashley Marie Cruz-Rodriguez was 19 and of Puerto Rican ethnicity when she died on October 10, 2015, in Midland, Texas. She and 20-year-old John Raymond Iglesia-Alvarez went missing while staying with 41-year-old Angel Luis Lebron-Rivera. Their remains were later found in pits and were identified by DNA; both died from gunshot wounds.

Angel Luis Lebron-Rivera was arrested and charged with capital murder of multiple persons, including two counts of first-degree murder. He was extradited from the Dominican Republic, where he had been in custody on a kidnapping charge. Evidence recovered at Lebron-Rivera’s residence linked him to the killings, and the Midland County Sheriff’s Office recommended the death penalty.

Anyone who knew Ashley, where she stayed, or saw her in Midland in October 2015 is asked to come forward with information.
