Alejandra Perez-Pyle, aged 51, was found dead on August 29, 2010, at a residence in Houston, Texas. The incident was determined to be a murder-suicide. Police discovered her body after responding to a welfare check when a child was not picked up from school. Perez-Pyle had suffered apparent blunt trauma, while a man, suspected to be her partner, was found deceased from self-hanging elsewhere in the home. Investigators believe the man assaulted Perez-Pyle before taking his own life.
The case was treated as a tragic instance of domestic violence.
