Iliana Lizbeth Estrada, a 29-year-old woman of Hispanic ethnicity, tragically passed away on March 12, 2020, in Laredo, Texas. Estrada was fatally shot by her common-law husband, Ubaldo Guajardo Quiroz, who then turned the hunting rifle on himself. The incident occurred in the 200 block of Gale Street, where officers responded to a shooting report at around 9:37 p.m.
Estrada had previously filed an emergency protective order against Quiroz after he allegedly assaulted her in January and accused her of cheating.
The case was classified as a murder-suicide, and no other suspects were involved. The investigation revealed that Estrada and Quiroz were separated at the time, and Estrada was no longer living in the house they shared. The couple had a young child together, who was between 2 to 4 years old. The tragic event highlighted the serious issue of domestic violence and the importance of protective orders in such cases.
Estrada's death was part of a concerning increase in homicides in Laredo in 2020, which nearly doubled compared to the previous year. The community mourned the loss of Estrada and other victims, and efforts were made to address the rising crime rates and provide support to those affected by such tragedies.
