DISCLAIMER – DETAILS OF INJURIES INCLUDED IN ARTICLE

New details have emerged in the case of a Corpus Christi man accused of killing his 67-year-old mother.

48-year-old Abraham Anzaldua was arrested Thursday night after someone spotted him getting fuel in Odem and contacted the San Patricio County Sheriff’s Department. Moments later, another caller spotted him heading toward Sinton. San Patricio County deputies pulled Anzaldua over just south of Sinton.

U.S. Marshals took him into custody for the murder of his mother, 67-year-old Mary Alice Anzaldua. Her body was found Monday afternoon after a house fire at her residence on the 2700 block of Camargo Dr. in Corpus Christi.

On Friday morning, Anzaldua appeared before a magistrate judge. He was charged with capital murder and possession of a controlled substance.

On Friday afternoon, KRIS 6 News obtained court documents in the case.

According to the documents, neighbors heard a “loud bang” around 2:45 p.m. Soon after, contractors working on a nearby home noticed the flames and put it out as best they could, until the Corpus Christi Fire Department arrived on scene.
