Maria Aparece, 23, of Sugar Land, Texas, was killed on June 18, 2006, after a violent carjacking in Houston. Maria and her boyfriend, Huy Ngo, were forced into the backseat of Maria’s car by a group led by 19-year-old Dexter Johnson. The assailants threatened the pair with a shotgun and a pistol and demanded money, credit cards and ATM access numbers.

Johnson is reported to have raped Maria in the backseat while Ngo was forced to listen on his knees. Afterward, Johnson and Fields marched Maria and Huy into the woods and shot both in the head; Maria screamed and covered her face before being shot in the top of the head.

The killings were described as part of a month-long spree that included at least four murders and numerous robberies. Johnson was later convicted in Maria’s rape and murder and received a death sentence. Does anyone have details about Maria’s life in Sugar Land or remembered her before June 18, 2006?
