Three people were arrested and charged with murder in connection to the Liberty County teen who was found dead on the side of the road earlier this month.

The Liberty County Sheriff's Office identified the three people charged as Kevin Rivera-Ortiz, 19, Katherine Alvarez-Flores, 20, and Joel Garcia Martinez, 20. Rivera-Ortiz is her ex-boyfriend, according to investigators

In addition to the murder charge, Alvarez-Flores also faces a tampering charge.

Alvarez-Flores was arrested a few days ago while Rivera-Ortiz and Garcia-Martinez were arrested Tuesday in Houston, one in southwest Houston and the other at his place of employment. Gang units from the Houston Police Department and Homeland Security were involved in the arrests.

All three were taken to the Liberty County Jail.

You have to understand criminals have absolutely zero mercy. Not for children or women or handicap individuals. Criminals have protection from a enabling system. Entitlement from a fearing public. These are the lowest of the low as far as human beings go. Criminals are entitled as hell.

Justice for this and all horrific crimes eye for an eye

[ObiTheRod]

I’m glad they caught them now time for prison to take care of these people

Ahhh yes..Homeland Security..must have a few "asylum seekers" lmfao

[samuelsheff]

Also she was under age, the boyfriend 19. I hope he’s charge was more crimes against a minor.

[EarlGray]

So not only is an adult romantically involved with a minor, gets 2 other adults to help kill her? SMDH. At least they all got caught.

Those faces of evil should be removed from humanity, permanently.

[tarablanco]

yes these crimes are more then disgusting and i am getting sick and tired of it as well i agree we need to start executing these and i never thought i would be the one to be in favor of that but i am now but my question is this is there any evidence these suspects were assylum seekers/or here illegally

[mylamberfeeties]

Wow 😳 those are some ditch digging looking people

[sweets]

Keeping these criminals locked up is wishful thinking..

[joricmalolic]

As usual, no surprise here. Suspects are exactly what I pictured in my head.
Diversity truly is our strength! Lmao.
