Adriana Coronado Cavazos was 14 when she was reported missing from Houston, Texas, on March 12, 2016, just after her father, Caesar Coronado, was found dead and his body burned in Walker County. Adriana’s body was recovered in an open field near 11100 Mayfield on March 16, 2016, and identified by fingerprints. Investigators determined she died from multiple gunshot wounds and that her body showed signs of decomposition when found.

Authorities linked Adriana’s killing to her father’s violent death and to an ongoing criminal investigation into his associations, with investigators pursuing persons of interest and asking the public for tips. Motive and the full circumstances remained unclear, leaving the community seeking answers and justice.

If anyone knew Adriana or has information about her or her father’s deaths, please contact the investigators working the case.
