Lizbeth Flores was found dead on August 11, two days after she traveled from Texas to visit the father of her two young children.
A suspect has been arrested over
the murder of an American mom-of-two who was found beaten to death with all of
her teeth pulled out and part of her scalp removed in Mexico.
Braulio Martínez was arrested at
his home in the subdivision of Molinos del Rey on Tuesday for the murder of
23-year-old Flores
The official said the motive for
the brutally violent crime was a robbery.
Flores reportedly died from a
blunt-force trauma to the head after being struck with a rock that was found
next to her body
Officials say the stretch of land
where Flores was killed, a vacant lot on the Emilio Portes Gil bypass, is
notorious for robberies.
Crime scene images leaked on
social media showed her body lying face up, with her shirt off, wearing just
her bra, pants and shoes.
Law enforcement investigators
reported that a part of Flores’ scalp had been removed and that all of her
teeth had been taken out by force.
Lizeth's mother seeks justice
Two days earlier on August 9, she
had reportedly crossed the border between Mexico and the US, walking across the
Veterans International Bridge to Matamoros to visit her boyfriend. The couple
share two young children together, a four-year-old girl and three-year-old boy.
Later the same day she spoke to
her mother, María Rubio, on the phone and said she would be returning home to
Brownsville that night, however she never returned.
Less than 24 hours later, Rubio
called the Brownsville Police Department on August 10 to report her daughter
missing. She was found dead the following day.
María Rubio has said learning of
her daughter’s brutal murder has been like having her heart ‘ripped out’
‘I feel very sad for what they
did to my daughter. How they left her is what pains me. The pain that my
daughter went through there at that time is what pains me.
‘She was young, she had many
things ahead of her and more because she had two children,’ Rubio said. ‘And I
want those who did that to my daughter, each one who participated in her death,
I want them to pay.’
Flores’ mother said she is trying
to repatriate her daughter’s body with the help of a Texas funeral home.
Juan Carlos Cué Vega, Mexico’s
Consul in Brownsville, Texas told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that the Mexican
government had previously offered María Rubio assistance in returning Flores
back before a local funeral parlor stepped in to help the grieving family.
Vega also said that the funeral
home was awaiting clearance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection to bring
back the body.
It is unknown if a local criminal
group or cartel was involved with Flores’ killing.
In recent years, Matamoros and
other neighboring border cities in the state of Tamaulipas has been subjected
to a spike in violent incidents involving the Cartel del Noreste [Northeast
Cartel] and its murder squadron, the notorious Tropa del Infierno. {Troop from Hell]
Piece of crap dude.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a tweaker.
DeleteHopefully they will kill him slowly in Matamoras. A few hours at least of torture then head seperation seems appropriate. Let him rest a few days in his cell thinking he is safe sound like in a USA jail.
DeleteHe was more than likely hired by the dad to keep his kids with him or the dad was in debt. Either way this guy didn’t just decide out of the blue to kill her.
DeleteThose are old pics of him, he actually looks age 50 now, really run down, washed up, loser tweaker.
DeleteThere is no way a robbery was the motive for the way they killed her
ReplyDelete"he" not they, is was sex-robbery killing aided by kidnapping hoax
DeleteThey took her teeth out because she had gold crowns on them. To sell the gold.
DeleteThey took the teeth out in an attempt to avoid identification of victim.
DeleteHow was the arrest made so quickly?
ReplyDeleteBecause the attention it got from the US
DeleteLots of murders get attention from U.S. and nothing happens.
DeleteMay that poor child rest in peace, I truly pray that their is a heaven for people like this who lose their lives because shit from the sewers escaped. If there was any earthly justice this piece of crap would be taken out and killed in the exact same manner for which this poor women was. I can't even imagine what this poor thing went through in the last hours of her life. I hope this man rot's in hell screaming as his flesh cook's for eternity.
ReplyDeleteWOW you have a wild imagination
Delete"WOW you have wild Imagination"
DeleteIts called anger at the rat bastard who did this and i hope this scrub gets fucked sooner than later.Wow,is that imagination?
hw is giving some sign of devil or ms13
DeleteHe looks like a criminal. All those tattoos. Whenever I see people with Tattoos I picture this guy.
ReplyDeletemany of his were 'prison made' but having tats do not mean anything. my sil has sleeve tats. he was valedictorian..and began med school at 17. I think they are beautiful. but there are many tats i hate. My point is that tats shouldn't be a gage of the character of the person.
Delete@12:09 Well no sheet he looks like a criminal. That's what he is.
DeleteYeah, you are right. One can definitely tell those are prison tats. He's a filthy subhuman that should be put to death.
Deleteun cuñado recien yegado de MTY se puso un tatuaje y el pendejo no sabia ke significaba , kreeme ke una noche en convivio familiar se armo una frifulca y yego la policia pues le miraron el tatuaje y lo mandaron ala prision por 9 años, anda de perro el wey aya en mty .
DeleteDude,c,mon man,thats goofy shit thinking that about tats.Japanese tats are almost an art form
DeleteNo Mamés @3:14 no te meten al bote ni prisión no mas por un tatuaje 9 anos quiere decir que iso algo un crimen grande no por un tatto
DeleteCan't agree, Chivis...should? The fact is that people do judge you by your appearance. People wear tattoos to send a message...to express themselves...but others will form their own opinion of that message...and the tattooed person gets to live with that opinion. That's just life...you better love those tattoos 'cause they don't come off.
Delete8:23 i agree that people judge a persons by tats. My SIL even made sure his were coverable by clothing. Would I prefer he didn't do the tats? yes, because of the judgement of people. His were costly and took almst two years because of the cost. He had a ridgid upbringing and I thnk it was his way to say he was now free and able to make decisions on his own. But he loved the tats.
DeleteIt never interfered with my judgement of him. I liked him from go and quickly loved him for my daughter.
no more comments about tats...
DeleteWow what made the area police investigate and find out who did it? Usually they take thier time and the suspect gets away with murder, furthermore; they did not cover suspects eyes or full name. I know the victim was a US citizen. Great Job.
ReplyDeleteI'm from here. This guy probably spent a lot of time in the US and is probably Texas Chicano Brotherhood or Tri-city Bomber judging from the placa he's throwing. Either way POS.
ReplyDeleteAs i have said repeatedly!!! NEVER EVER go to Mexico! She did not need to go!
ReplyDelete12:47 Did you read the article?
DeleteWhat a loser
ReplyDeleteRight I served almost 14 years in military and have tattoos Aztec ones too does that make me a criminal? I fought for ignorant people like you to have a voice!
ReplyDeleteWhat military branch? Because the Marines are strict when it comes to tattoos because they know it makes you look unprofessional and trashy!
DeleteIf you can see your tattoos when wearing PT (physical training) gear you won’t be allowed in. Maybe with a waiver but that’s not always the case. That’s what separates the US Marines from the other military branches; their discipline, structure, and intensive training!
Aztecs were child sacrificing pieces of shit. Good thing they were exterminated
DeleteDressing like a thug tattoos like a thug. Maybe not a thug but dress like a clown makes others believe you are a clown.
DeleteWho did you fight?
DeleteThe military sure knows how to brainwash! You were fighting for Billionaires interest!
Delete6:08 how ironic, looks who's brainwashed.
DeleteThe Aztecs got their asses kicked by the Tarascans of Michoacán, why are you so proud of that tribe? Typical pocho ignorante!
DeleteThen the Spaniards came and smashed them but they the Spaniards couldN’t take on the Tarascans!
@5:56
DeleteHuman sacrifice started in white Europe with the pre-historical Neolithic age and, though by then infrequent, continued by the Greeks and Romans. By late classical antiquity it was almost non-existent but it taken up in the New World.
222 yeah how many weeks ago was that??? Mexico is still trying to catch up I guess...
DeleteGC
Which one killed her? Bastard on upper or lower pic?
ReplyDeleteThere both the same person.
DeleteIt's the same person.
Deleteif he went to a california prison, the Surenos would kill him
ReplyDeleteNot really. Boxer Enriquez raped a woman, raped a man in prison, and ordered the execution of a woman and sureños did nothing. Doesn't matter even if youre a pedo, the sad reality of prison is that if the bosses that control the prison think you might be useful to them they'll give you a pass.
DeleteSo funny high profile international killings suspects are apprehended fast. However, mass murderres and executions are never solved or suspects apprehended. Makes one wonder if he or a cartel did it. The Mexican govt wants closure and publicity to end. Who was the real killer or killers? The Mexican govt cannot be trusted.
ReplyDeleteI thought matamoros was CDG territory looks like CDN have successfully taken over. Cartel Jotillos Nueva Generacion better find a new ally CDG wont be able to push their weight over to the u.s anymore if CDN takes all their territory
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does tamaulipas seem like the armpit of mexico??
DeleteAlso, there was a pretty large bust recentley in chicago, and according to the fbi, it was cdn's work.. i know almost every cartel has at least SOME presence in chicago... didnt think cdn was that heavy here thougb..
Tamps is lame most people from there are people from other parts of Mexico.
DeleteMichoacanos run Tamps they’re the ones that made it feared through Zetas back then not people originally from Tamaulipas.
What are you talking about??? Matamoros is CDG territory. Where are you getting your nonsense from??? Or did you come up with it all by yourself???
DeleteThis is pretty much normal in Mexico, very sad :(
ReplyDeleteLucifer will gladly welcome this pos in hell for an eternity of pain and suffering. Hope it was worth it fake thug.
ReplyDeleteMatamoros is cdg. The real gulf cartel is in matamoros. Cdn can not enter matamoros they wld have to enter the frontera chica and then reynosa and then to matamoros. Its imposible. This dont have shit to do with cdn. Or the gulf cartel. This is some dumb 22yo young girl that had no fucking clue of how dangerous matamoros is or mexico in general is. She went to pay rescue for her kidnapped boyfriend and got torn up by animals including her alleged stepfather. This is another example of if your mexican or american or whatever the fuck. Dont go to mexico. Its that fucking simple. And as a nazi drumpf hater hispanic living by the border where this happened is also and example of why we cant let ppl that can do this on our side. Let them lbs and the keys come thru but no ppl. Stay the fuck on your side.
ReplyDelete@8:13pm do u mean her bf and stepfather were kidnapped and she was captured + killed when she went to pay ransom? Or do you mean her stepfather was involved her murder? Thank you.
DeleteCanadian girl
I can dig it hermano,you talk sense,whatever the case the girl didnt deserve that shit dumb or not
DeleteAccording to the story in valor por tamaulipas. The guy arrested was her stepfather. So i guess he kidnapped her boyfriend whom i guess is also from matamoros.
DeletePulling teeth out is clearly a sign of vengeance/torture killing. No way all her teeth pulled out for gold fillings. Gold isn’t used anymore. That was in the old days. The alleged killer no doubt was a bad guy, but I believe the cops wanted an indictment quick. Too much heat.
ReplyDeleteTo avoid dental identification?
DeleteGold is used even more now.
Delete2:29 too advanced for somebody who uses rocks to kill.
Delete@10:41-
Deletejajaja! Gold isn't used anymore? the old day's? WTF? Too many folks on here just ramblin about shit like they are authors of non-fiction books.
Obviously, you forget that gold is preferred over paper money and that is why there is a gold/silver/pawn shop on almost every block in every major city.
Here's to hoping he gets his teeth ripped out, scalp flayed, and head bashed in with a dull rock. In that order. Kindest regards.
ReplyDeleteOr teeth smashed out with a dull rock. Scalp flayed with safety scissors. And head smashed in with the softest rock.
DeleteWith safety scissors 😆
DeleteThis piece of trash deserves eternal pain and agony
ReplyDeleteI bet the killer was deportes from USA
ReplyDeleteThey need hugs not bullets. Mofos should be used as piñatas.
ReplyDeleteOk hold on, hold on...#1 Mexican cops can't catch crooks...#2 No info in this story that ties this asshole to anything...no info...#3 Everyone is freaked by the brutality of the killing so they accept that he is guilty #4 Mexican cops MO on most killing is to grab the first person that fits .i.e he has tattoos, he was in the area, he may have known the victim, etc. etc. Maybe 5% of crimes are solved by Mexican police. Stealing is what they focus on.
ReplyDeleteIt was the step father who set her up. He is a violent criminal, register sex offender in multiple cases.
Deletefor robbery? wtf was he trying to do? sell teeth to the tooth fairy so he can buy some dope???
ReplyDeletejust something to throw in the garbage pile on the sign he is throwing its LK..makes no difference but just some info. The guy is a nobody throwing a sign he has no affiliation with. Its not Brotherhood or TriCity or Hermandad or pistoleros.
ReplyDeleteWell really off, the PTK get along brother good my azz.
DeleteSomething is fishy about this story. Why would he do all that if it was a robbery gone wrong?
