PASADENA, Texas (TCD) -- An arrest warrant has been obtained for a 30-year-old man accused of kidnapping and fatally shooting his on-again, off-again girlfriend, whose body was found inside an SUV earlier this week.
According to a Pasadena Police Department press conference posted by KHOU-TV, on Monday, Oct. 3, at approximately 9:51 a.m., dispatchers received two calls from two witnesses who saw a male assaulting a woman in a parking lot. The male, later identified as Daniel Chacon, was reportedly seen dragging the woman, Maira Gutierrez, into a car.
Chacon allegedly held a gun in his hand as he did so.
At around 3 p.m., KHOU reports, Gutierrez’s body was located inside the vehicle near Mykawa Road and the South Loop.
Police said Chacon and Gutierrez had an on-again, off-again relationship and share a 5-month-old child together. Prior to the alleged kidnapping and shooting, the victim reportedly visited the suspect’s apartment to see their child in September. At the time of the incident, they were not living together, police said.
