🚔🚔HOMICIDE SUSPECT SENTENCED AFTER 14-YEAR MANHUNT🚔🚔
On June 11, 2025, Moises Perez Alvarez, 67, of Mexico, was sentenced to 40 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice after pleading guilty to the 2009 murder of 45-year-old Faith Marie Guillory.
The homicide occurred on September 14, 2009, in La Marque. Following the murder, Alvarez fled the country and remained a fugitive for over 14 years. In October 2023, he was apprehended in Mexico. While the initial reason for his arrest was not publicly disclosed, the U.S. Department of Justice worked in coordination with Mexican authorities to secure his extradition. He was returned to Galveston County and booked into the county jail on February 22, 2024.
The Galveston County District Attorney’s Office consulted with the victim’s family before extending the plea offer.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all agencies and personnel involved in bringing Alvarez to justice. Their tireless efforts ensured accountability and helped bring closure to the family of Faith Marie Guillory.
