Alfredo Vasquez, a 27-year-old man from Corpus Christi, Texas, tragically died on May 14, 2019. His body was discovered floating in a creek near Portland, Texas, and it was determined that he had died from a gunshot wound. The Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that his death was a homicide.
Authorities suspected foul play and launched an investigation into his death. Belynda Nadine Pena Garcia, a 28-year-old woman, was arrested in connection with Vasquez's murder.
She was accused of being involved in a home invasion in Ingleside, Texas, which led to Vasquez's death. Pena Garcia was taken into custody and faced multiple charges, including aggravated robbery and drug-related offenses.
The San Patricio County Sheriff's Office continued to investigate the case, processing digital and DNA evidence. They believed that Vasquez was dumped in the creek after being shot and expected more arrests to be made as the investigation progressed. Vasquez's family and friends remembered him as a great person, brother, and friend who had a good personality and was always chill to hang around with.
The investigation into Alfredo Vasquez's murder remains ongoing, with authorities following several leads in hopes of bringing justice for his death.
