Edith Cevallos‑Zapata Alanis, 47, was shot and killed in her Sugar Land, Texas home on February 11, 2017. Born March 25, 1969, in Ocampo, Tamaulipas, Mexico, she is described as a beloved member of her community. The shooting involved her husband, Hayder Alanis, who said the shooting was accidental. Forensic evidence did not support that account.

Hayder Alanis, 63, later pled guilty to murder before the 400th District Court and in June 2017 was sentenced to 30 years in prison. At sentencing he argued mental health issues contributed to the shooting; the judge cited his history of domestic violence and the nature of the crime in imposing a lengthy term.

Edith’s death drew attention to domestic violence and its consequences. Does anyone have information about Edith’s life in Sugar Land or about the circumstances on February 11, 2017?
