Her death was initially discovered on April 1, 2022, when her burned body was found in north Houston. An autopsy revealed that Cynthia had been shot multiple times before her body was set on fire.
The investigation into Cynthia's death led to the arrest of her sister, Carmen White, who was charged with capital murder.
Carmen White, aged 38, allegedly shot Cynthia and then had her 13-year-old son help her dispose of the body. According to court documents, Carmen was motivated by anger over Cynthia calling the police on her. Carmen was arrested on February 8, 2022, on unrelated charges but failed to appear in court, leading to additional warrants.
Carmen White's bond was set at $750,000, and she is currently awaiting trial for the capital murder charge. The case has drawn significant attention due to the involvement of Carmen's young son and the gruesome nature of the crime.
Cynthia Cervantes was remembered fondly by her family and friends for her vibrant personality, strong faith, and love for dancing. Her death has left a profound impact on those who knew her, and her memory continues to be cherished by her loved ones.
