Texas 11-Year-Old Raped and Found Dead Under Bed Murdered by Guatemalan Who Crossed Into El Paso In January
Maria Gonzalez, 11, was raped and murdered and left under her father’s bed in Pasadena, Texas last Saturday.
Gonzalez was found dead just a few hours after she sent a text message to her father that a stranger was knocking on the front door.
Maria Gonzalez’s father found his daughter stuffed in a trash bag under his bed a few hours after he got home from work later that day.
Police arrested 18-year-old Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez in Shreveport, Louisiana and he is awaiting his extradition to Texas.
According to police, a key left behind at the scene next to the deceased girl’s body at a Pasadena apartment complex led authorities to the killer.
Police matched the key to the unit where Juan Carlos Garcia-Rodriguez was staying in the same apartment complex.
