On April 17, 2013, Elizabeth Mayorga, aged 18, was found dead in a brutal triple homicide that took place in an apartment located on Greens Parkway in Houston, Texas. Elizabeth, her fiancé Anthony Contreras, also 18, and her uncle, Cesar Enriquez, aged 36, were all shot to death in the same apartment. Elizabeth and Anthony had just become engaged and had an infant daughter together. Their daughter was found unharmed, hidden under a bed in the same room where the couple was murdered.
The crime scene did not show any signs of forced entry, suggesting that the perpetrator or perpetrators may have been known to the victims.
Elizabeth's family, especially her mother and grandmother, have been vocal about their grief and their determination to find those responsible for the murders. Elizabeth’s grandmother, Anita Ramos, still holds hope that someone will come forward with information that could lead to an arrest. The Houston Police Department believes the killings were not random, indicating a targeted attack. However, despite years of investigation and appeals to the public for help, the case remains unsolved. A significant piece of evidence is thought to have been taken from the apartment, though police have not disclosed what it was.
Crime Stoppers of Houston has offered a reward of up to $5,000 for any information leading to the arrest and charging of those responsible for the murders. The case remains open, and authorities continue to seek community assistance to solve this tragic crime, providing some semblance of justice for Elizabeth and her loved ones.
