A 68-year-old Donna woman was charged with murder Saturday.



Elizabeth Guerrero, 68, of Donna was charged with murder, a first-degree felony.

A justice of the peace set bond at $1 million.

Guerrero is accused of intentionally killing 20-year-old Gilberto Gaytan—her granddaughter’s ex-common law spouse— with a silver-colored 2002 Acura MDX SUV in rural Palmview Thursday, as CBS 4 News previously reported.

Guerrero turned herself in to the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office after an arrest warrant for murder was issued.

Investigators say her granddaughter, 22-year-old Elizabeth Kassandra Morales, and a two-year-old girl were in the vehicle at the time of the incident.

The two-year-old girl remains in Child Protective Services custody.
