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]

    2. Hopefully 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.

    3. He 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.

  4. May 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.

    1. many 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.

    7. Can'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.

      Delete
    8. 8:23 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.

      It never interfered with my judgement of him. I liked him from go and quickly loved him for my daughter.

  6. Wow 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.

    1. What military branch? Because the Marines are strict when it comes to tattoos because they know it makes you look unprofessional and trashy!

      If 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!

    7. @5:56

      Human 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.

    1. Not 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.

  12. So 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.

  16. Matamoros 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.

    3. According 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.

  17. Pulling 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.

      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.

  22. Ok 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.
