Husband charged with wife’s murder at Socorro dialysis center

UPDATE, July 8: A man accused of killing his wife, leaving her body at a Socorro dialysis center and then fleeing to Mexico was taken into custody while trying to re-enter the U.S. and charged with murder, sheriff's officials said Wednesday.

53-year-old Sergio Reyna was being held on $1 million bond in the El Paso County jail in the death of his wife, 52-year-old Marta Reyna.

He was arrested on a murder warrant Tuesday evening at the Ysleta Port of Entry, authorities said.

Investigators have not said how the victim was killed or provided a motive for her death.

ORIGINAL REPORT, July 5: SOCORRO, Texas -- The death of a woman in Socorro early Sunday was under investigation by the major crime unit of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities said they found the woman's body about 3 a.m.

The discovery was made by Socorro police officers sent to do a welfare check in the 10600 block of North Loop near Horizon Blvd.

The location of the woman's death appeared to be the DaVita Dialysis Center, which remained completely shut off to the public by sheriff's vehicles and crime scene tape on Sunday afternoon.

Investigators could be seen repeatedly entering and exiting the facility by an ABC-7 photographer at the scene. The medical examiner was also present at that location.

Officials said there was an "ongoing investigation" into the cause of the woman's death and declined to comment further.
