Maria Delsocorro Fonseca is wanted in connection with the homicide of Transito Javier Leiva. Newslibrary archives mentioned that Maria was Transito's ex-girlfriend. Authorities say that Maria and an unidentified Hispanic male drove up to Transito's apartment. They first tried to pound on the apartment door to get inside. When no one answered, authorities say that they broke a window. The male associate entered through the window and was confronted by Transito who struck the intruder with a chair. The intruder then shot Transito to death.
Maria and the shooter both fled in a vehicle. A warrant was issued for Maria's arrest, but nothing was ever said if the shooter was ever identified. Newslibrary archives also mentioned that one of the gunshots went through the wall into the apartment next door where two children were sleeping.
Based on crime location, it is advised to contact Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS if you have any information on Maria Delsocorro Fonseca's whereabouts.

Thoughts? As of today, January 20, 2024, Maria is listed as having a warrant/not being in custody, according to Harris County's court records database. I checked PACER and did not see a UFAP (Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution) case for her.
If the shooter in this case has never been identified, then arresting Maria could lead to the shooter's identity as well. I hope that Transito's family will get the justice and accountability they deserve.
