April Marie Serrano was 21 when she was killed on June 3, 2014, in Fort Worth, Texas. She was one of three family members found dead in their home; her mother, Cynthia Serrano, 48, had been stabbed, and April and her sister Kathy DeLeon, 35, had been shot in the head.

Investigators identified 22-year-old Cedric D. McGinnis Jr. as the suspect. He was described as April’s ex-boyfriend, confessed during questioning, led police to evidence, and was charged with capital murder. Authorities said McGinnis planned a robbery, used April to gain access to the house, and stolen items were later recovered at a Haltom City residence linked to his family. McGinnis was later sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The killings devastated the family and community and raise questions about warning signs in abusive or controlling relationships. If anyone knew the Serrano family, their routines, or saw suspicious activity around their home before June 3, 2014, please share what is known.
