Investigators gathered surveillance video, processed evidence, and conducted numerous witness interviews to charge three females with murdering a mother of five on a south Texas street in broad daylight — and at least one suspect appeared to smile on video after her arrest.
Officers with the Del Rio Police Department responded to Val Verde Regional Medical Center just after 2 p.m. Thursday following a report of a female suffering multiple stab wounds. Upon arrival, officers determined the assault occurred in the 800 block of East 10th Street. Due to the severity of her injuries, the victim was taken to a medical facility in San Antonio for emergency treatment.
During the investigation, detectives identified the victim as a 32-year-old female and developed three suspects: Kitty Mia Diaz, 21; Amaya Cookie Diaz, 19; and Kyandra Renee Faz, 21.
“The severity of this crime is indeed a stark reminder of the consequences of violent actions. We need God in our lives,” police said.
