A Texas grand jury has indicted the illegal immigrant suspect in a
16-year-old girl's brutal killing on capital murder charges.

The indictment obtained by Fox News Digital says Rafael Govea
Romero, 23, intentionally caused Lizbeth Medina's death while in the
course of attempting to commit a burglary, robbery or sexual
assault.

The document also alleges Romero killed Medina by causing the
teenager's "head to strike a firm surface," "striking" her head
"with a hard object" and "repeatedly stabbing or cutting" her "with
a sharp object or edged weapon."

"It's very disturbing to me," Lizbeth's mother, Jacqueline Medina,
told Fox News Digital of the indictment, adding she thinks the grand
jury handed down the capital murder charge because of "all the
evidence and all the other details" in the case.

Jacqueline also said she plans to be part of the justice process
every step of the way.

"I don't want to miss anything at all, not if I can help it, because
my baby deserves justice, and I want to be part of it," she said.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUSPECT IN TEXAS CHEERLEADER MURDER HELD ON ICE
DETAINER

Lizbeth Media was staying home from school Dec. 5, but her friends
and family did not notice anything out of the ordinary until she
failed to show up at a Christmas parade that her cheerleading team
was marching in that afternoon.

Jacqueline, who attended the parade after work to support her
daughter but never saw her there, immediately began reaching out to
Lizbeth's friends to find out where she was.

When she arrived home later that day, she found Lizbeth dead in the
bathtub of their Edna apartment with her foot sticking out from
behind a shower curtain.


Days later, when the Edna Police Department named Romero as a
suspect in her murder, Jacqueline told Fox News Digital that the man
had no relation to her daughter or their family.

Police determined their apartment had been burglarized Nov. 13,
about a month before the teenager's murder.

Jacqueline previously told Fox News Digital she didn't make the
connection at first. She and Lizbeth had noticed little things that
were going missing from their apartment for some time. On Nov. 13,
they reported the missing belongings to police because some larger
items had disappeared.

"I believe the burglary from 11/13/2023 could have a connection with
the murder suspect," an Edna officer wrote in an affidavit at the
time. "I believed the suspect of this murder was at large and a
present danger to the community."

Edna authorities also indicated Romero may have stolen Lizbeth's
phone after the murder. Lizbeth's boyfriend tracked the 16-year-
old's location to an area about a half mile away from her apartment
using his smartphone the day of her murder.

The following day, Lizbeth's cousin saw that her Snapchat sent to
the victim had been opened, indicating that someone was using her
phone after her death.

Within an hour of reporting the suspicious phone activity to Edna
Police, authorities were able to track the geolocation of Lizbeth's
phone to the suspect in Schulenburg, Texas, about an hour's drive
from Edna, where they arrested Romero.

The suspect's bond was set at $2 million after his arrest.

Jacqueline said she still has many questions about what happened to
her daughter and why the suspect allegedly targeted the 16-year-old,
and she awaits answers as Romero's case plays out in court.

"I kind of want to know, just to have closure," she said.
