Caroline Peña's death has shaken the small border city of Del Rio, Texas, after the 32-year-old mother of five was allegedly stabbed in broad daylight in an attack that has shocked residents. Three women — sisters Kitty Mia Diaz, 21, and Amaya 'Cookie' Diaz, 19, along with 21-year-old Kyandra Renee Faz — have been arrested and charged with murder following the fatal assault, and police say the investigation remains ongoing without a disclosed motive.
The case has drawn attention not only because of the brutality of the alleged attack but also because of the victims left behind. Peña was raising five children, including two with autism, according to fundraising efforts launched by family and friends after her death. Loved ones have remembered her as a devoted mother whose life revolved around caring for her family.
