Krystal Perales, 28, of Corpus Christi, Texas, was killed on February 23, 2014. A mother of four who was attending Southern Careers School, she was described as devoted to her family and known for her love of laughter and sense of adventure.

Krystal was shot multiple times inside her home after her estranged husband, Jesse Perales, broke in on the night of the killing. The children were present during the attack. Krystal had contacted a women’s shelter before the shooting about the domestic violence she was experiencing.

Jesse Perales was arrested the next day and charged with capital murder. He later pleaded guilty to murder as part of a plea agreement and received a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 30 years; he also admitted to raping Krystal the day before the shooting. Krystal’s family said they were disappointed by the plea deal and felt justice was incomplete.

Did anyone in Corpus Christi know Krystal or her family and have information that could shed more light on her last days?
