On the night of July 16, 2019, police responded to a 911 call and found three members of a Des Moines family shot to death inside a home on Day Street. The victims were 29-year-old Rossibeth Flores-Rodriguez, her 11-year-old daughter Grecia Daniela Alvarado-Flores, and her 5-year-old son Ever Jose Mejia-Flores, a Hispanic boy who had been looking forward to starting kindergarten. An autopsy confirmed all three died of gunshot wounds, each reportedly shot twice in the head.

Investigators focused on a 31-year-old housemate, identified in charging documents as Marvin Oswaldo Esquivel Lopez, who lived at the same address and had reportedly had a dispute with Rossibeth before the killings. He was arrested the next day and charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Court proceedings included a mistrial in April 2021 and a retrial that resulted in convictions on all counts in January 2022, followed by sentencing in February 2022.

Does anyone have information about the family’s time at that Day Street address or about neighbors who might have seen or heard anything on the night of July 16, 2019?
