On the evening of January 14, 2015, 22-year-old Lucero Rodriguez and her 24-year-old husband Manuel Alvarado-Meraz were found dead in the south Wichita apartment they shared. Manuel’s father discovered the couple’s bodies after checking on them. Both had been shot multiple times; investigators said Lucero was struck at least eight times and Manuel at least eleven times.

The investigation quickly focused on Manuel’s identical twin brother, Luis Alvarado-Meraz, who lived in the same apartment. Authorities reported Luis fired numerous rounds from an AK-47-style rifle and a handgun. He was arrested within 16 hours and charged with capital murder; prosecutors alleged the killings were premeditated and said an argument likely preceded the shootings.

The killings devastated both families. If anyone knew Lucero or has information about her life or the events that led up to January 14, 2015, please come forward.
