Case Story |

Sleeping Mother Executed In Front Of Her Children |
|
| |
Police in Midland, Texas say it was 1:20 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2008, when a pickup truck pulled up and parked in front of Sylvia Zapata's residence. A mysterious woman approached the front door and knocked. Inside, two of Zapata's children, Ezekiel and Isaiah, eventually answered the door.
According to police, Corina Sifuentes, a 29-year-old ex-con, forced her way into the residence and backed the two boys against a wall, threatening to kill them. Engulfed by anger, authorities say Sifuentes demanded that Ezekiel and Isaiah bring her to their mother, Sylvia. Horrified, the boys led Sifuentes up the stairs towards a bedroom.
Sifuentes stormed towards the bedroom. Once again, after opening the door, she backed Ezekiel and Isaiah against the wall. As Sifuentes prepared to execute Sylvia Zapata, police say she made the two sons watch.
Sylvia tossed amongst her bed sheets. “Remember me?” Sifuentes yelled. “I’m Victor’s sister.”
Police say she began firing a small-caliber handgun.
Detectives learned the first bullet missed, but the second shot tore through Sylvia's chest, killing her almost instantly. Investigators believe a malfunctioning gun may be the reason Sylvia's two sons were not murdered as well.
After the shooting, cops tell AMW that Sifuentes made a hasty getaway in the 2003 tan Ford F150 pickup.
Ezekiel and Isaiah called the police not only from their house, but their neighbor's home as well. |

Bad Blood Brews Between Families |
|
| |
The break-in may have been years in the making. A bitter family feud between the Sifuentes and the Zapatas had been fermenting since 2006, according to police.
Cops believe this bitter rivalry began on June 15, 2006 when Francisco Martinez, Sylvia's oldest son, waited outside the Desert Inn Motel in Midland.
Inside the motel, Martinez’s ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, Victor Vidal -- Corina Sifuentes' step-brother -- lay resting.
Police say Martinez kicked in the door of the motel room and confronted Victor.
In a surprising turn of events, cops say Victor knocked Martinez unconscious, permanently crippling him from the waist down.
Two years later, in May 2008, Sifuentes met Sylvia Zapata in a Midland market.
Sylvia, bitter because of her son's paralysis, exchanged words with Sifuentes. Minutes later, police say Sifuentes and Sylvia got into a physical fight outside the store, in a local park.
Sifuentes is extremely aggressive, short tempered, and dangerous. According to authorities say she is very violent, especially when under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and will not hesitate to fight men or women.
Sifuentes is a hardened criminal and a convicted felon who has spent time in a Texas prison. |

Cops: The Final Straw Leads To Murder |
|
| |
On July 18, nearly two months after Sifuentes and Sylvia's confrontation in the park, Victor Vidal, Sifuentes' step-brother, was visiting friends at a party.
Shortly after arriving at the party, a fight broke out between several men and women. Victor rushed outside, hoping to settle the controversy.
The three men did not take kindly to Victor’s interference, and in what police believe to be a crime of passion, brutally beat and stabbed Victor several times.
The three men who killed Victor were not directly related to the Zapatas.
Regardless, cops Sifuentes was infuriated and planned to reap her revenge on Zapata family once and for all, resulting in the murder of Sylvia in front of her two sons, Ezekiel and Issiah. |
