"Our mother, Margarita, was not defined by the way her life ended but by the way she lived, by the love she gave to family, the guidance she offered to others, and the quiet strength she carried every day."
"Throughout their partnership, Alvarez exhibited jealousy and hostility toward Morehead, and would frequently accuse her of cheating. In October 2022, Morehead was granted a restraining order against Alvarez which forbade him from contacting her. At the time of her murder, the order was still active."
"During the morning of May 8, 2023, the pair began arguing about Morehead's attempts to end their relationship. Morehead threatened to call the police if Alvarez did not leave her home. Alvarez then punched Morehead twice in the face."
