Rosemary Perez, a 28-year-old Hispanic woman, was found dead on January 10, 2015. Her body was discovered wrapped in a sheet along a sidewalk in the 2100 block of San Fernando Street in San Antonio, Texas. The cause of death was determined to be strangulation.

Investigators later linked Perez’s killing to Johnny Joe Avalos, who targeted women in San Antonio between 2012 and 2015. Avalos’s reported pattern was to rape, sometimes rob, and strangle victims with his hands and plastic bags; DNA connected him to multiple scenes and he was arrested in April 2015 and indicted on capital murder charges in Perez’s death and those of Natalie Chavez, Celia Lopez, and Genevieve Ramirez. The investigation noted Avalos had stalked women, mostly sex workers, after shifts as a dishwasher and had a criminal history that included terroristic threats, criminal mischief, and controlled-substance possession.

If anyone knew Rosemary, her routines, or saw anything unusual near San Fernando Street around January 10, 2015, please share what might help complete the picture.
