BROWNSVILLE — The pastor husband of a third-grade teacher whose body was found last week slumped over the steering wheel of her car was charged over the weekend in connection with her shooting death, authorities said.
Julio Cesar Perez, leader of the Ministerios Manantial de Vida church in El Ranchito, was charged with capital murder and ordered held without bail Sunday in Cameron County Jail, accused of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot that left his 39-year-old wife dead.
Shortly before the discovery late Thursday of Sonia Perez — her foot still on the brake pedal, an identification badge from the Rio Hondo Independent School District still around her neck — Julio Perez reported his wife missing, telling authorities that it was unlike her to not pick up one of their two daughters and immediately return home.
