Missing Katy teenager Adriana Coronado was shot to death, according to Harris County medical examiners.
Adriana Coronado went missing on March 12 in Katy, Texas, after police believe she was a witness to the murder of her father, Cesar Coronado. Her father’s burned body had been discovered in a rural area in Walker County, and an Amber Alert was immediately issued.
The rest of her family held out hope that Adriana would be discovered unharmed, and her mother, who was in Mexico recovering from surgery, says her husband didn’t have any enemies.
The teenager’s body was first identified by a bracelet, then confirmed through fingerprints.
The ninth-grader’s cause of death was listed as “multiple gunshot wounds,” according to Harris County Institute of Forensic Science records.
The investigation into the homicide continues. Her full name was listed by police as Adriana Coronado Cavazos.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
