Arrest Made In Murder And Dismemberment Of El Paso Couple

Two people have been arrested for the murder of an El Paso lesbian couple whose bodies were dismembered and dumped in bags along a highway.

Authorities with the State of Chihuahuas’ Special Crime Investigation Unit arrested Jaqueline Isela R. and David R. on Monday. The suspects were hiding in a home in Mexico where agents found evidence of the murder and subsequent dismemberment.

Last week, Nohemi Medina, 28, and Tania Julissa Martinez, 28, were shot to death. Their bodies were then dismembered and placed in plastic bags. The bags with their body parts were then scattered along the Highway.

Medina and Martinez were married last year and were raising Medina’s three children.
