Sachary Montanez was 19 when she was found shot to death in her South Lawrence, Massachusetts home on September 5, 2011. A recent graduate of Lawrence High School, Class of 2010, she was attending Hesser College in Salem, New Hampshire and enjoyed basketball and dancing. Sachary was discovered alongside her mother, Milka Rivera, 39, and her 16-year-old brother, Max Ariel Montanez, in one of the children’s bedrooms.

Around 2:00 AM the morning of September 5, Jose Luis Tejada, Rivera’s longtime boyfriend who lived with the family, told a neighbor in Spanish to take him to the police station and said he had killed someone. Police say Tejada repeated to officers that he had killed his family because they were talking down to him and that he had tried to turn the gun on himself but ran out of bullets. Investigators recovered a .357 Magnum revolver outside the back door with six spent shell casings that matched the bullets from the scene. Tejada was charged with three counts of first-degree murder.

The case raises questions about motive and how the events unfolded in the hours before the killings. Does anyone have information about Sachary, her family, or the household in South Lawrence around that time?
