Sissy's murder has left behind her 2 Daughters, ages 3 &
4, to grow up without their Mother in their lives
Sissy was stabbed to death by her husband, Vicente Nava Flores, 24, while lying in bed. Sissy
was stabbed more than 20 times in the upper torso with a kitchen knife while
the couple’s two daughters, ages three and four, and Vicente’s 20-year-old
brother, were in the home sleeping. Scratches on Vicente’s face showed that
Sissy struggled during the attack. Vicente then fatally stabbed himself.
Sissy and Vicente
were high school sweethearts and dated for three years before they married.
Court records show that Vicente was violent toward Sissy during their marriage.
In 2003, he had attacked Sissy while she was sleeping, beating her and
threatening to kill her. At that time, he pled guilty to Battery and was
sentenced to a year of probation and “anger counseling”, which he was still
completing at the time of the murder.
In the days leading
up to her murder, Sissy was actively trying to leave Vicente. She had contacted
her family for help but was worried about having enough money and Vicente’s
reaction to her leaving. The day before the homicide, family members went with
her to pack clothes for herself and her two daughters.
