Vanessa Alcorte, 32, was found dead in her car on May 26, 2014, in Lubbock, Texas. Her body was discovered in the front seats of a gray Jaguar parked in an alley of a mobile home park in the 2800 block of North Quaker Avenue; the vehicle appeared stuck in a muddy ditch. Officers had received reports earlier that day of a fight and shots fired in a car matching that description near Boston Avenue and Second Place. Vanessa suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

Vanessa was born May 2, 1982, in Chicago to Armando Hernandez and Graciala Quintana, spent childhood years in Los Angeles, and moved to Lubbock at age ten to live with her father. She attended Horwell Elementary and Estacado High School and served in the U.S. Army, completing two tours in Iraq. She was married to Omara Alcorte and was mother to Natilie, Jazmine, and Maliki Alcorte.

Investigators identified 27-year-old Matthew Torrez, Vanessa’s cousin, as a suspect after a family member reported seeing them together about an hour before the first 911 call. Torrez was arrested the next day at a residence in the 1700 block of 48th Street and held with bond set at $500,000.

Did anyone in Lubbock know Vanessa’s routine or remember seeing her car that day?
