Rosemary Meza: Las Vegas woman charged with murder for strangling girlfriend and her mother to death, dumping dead body on roadside

LAS VEGAS, UNITED STATES: The moment a Las Vegas lesbian allegedly dumped her girlfriend's mother's body by the side of the road in broad daylight and then sped off to kill her girlfriend a block away was caught in shocking surveillance footage.

Due to the September deaths of her girlfriend Alyssa Valdovinos, 26, and her girlfriend's mother Norma Rios-Valdovinos, 58, Rosemary Meza, 37, has been charged with two counts of murder.

Video footage shows Rosemary Meza allegedly strangling girlfriend and her mother 

Video footage of Meza allegedly dumping Rios-Valdovinos' lifeless body on the pavement after strangling her with a shoelace discovered in her car after an accident has been made public by the prosecution.

While investigating the body discovered by the side of the road, Meza's girlfriend's home was checked for welfare, and while doing so, police discovered Valdovinos dead from what appeared to be a strangulation using the same shoelace.

A grey car was seen pulling up to the side of the road across the street in the footage of Meza allegedly carrying out the murders, which looks to have been taken by police from a home security system.

Prosecutors claim that Meza then exited the vehicle, circled around to the back, opened the passenger-side rear door, and pulled out a body.

Rios-Valdovinos had 'deep ligature marks on neck', say cops

When police arrived at the scene just after 6 pm, they discovered that Rios-Valdovinos had "deep ligature marks on her neck" and that it "appeared that she had been attacked and defended herself," according to 8NewsNow.

Rios-Valdovinos was declared dead at the hospital after paramedics rushed her there. Subsequently that night, authorities were called to an automobile accident, approximately three miles from where one victim's body was discovered.

They stated that Meza had collided her vehicle with construction machinery.

Meza was apparently identified as a person of interest in relation to the body discovered earlier in the day when the detectives spoke with her, especially since she fit the description of the individual who was seen disposing of the body.

Rosemary Meza accused of murdering her girlfriend and mother

According to reports, the car that Meza is suspected of using to carry out the alleged murders had smeared blood the middle console armrest. The showlaces found inside the vehicle also had blood on them. According to transcripts of a grand jury indictment, the 37-year-old admitted to killing her girlfriend while she was being held.

Meza "just told me she was a bad person and that I should just kill her now," the officer who spoke with her told the grand jury, Daily Mail reported.

The officer stated, "And I replied that, no, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t do that to somebody. And then she said that she had hurt her girlfriend and her girlfriend’s mother."

Afterward, just a few blocks from the location where her mother's body was discovered earlier in the day close to Las Vegas Boulevard, officers conducted a fateful welfare check on Valdovinos' residence.

According to the police, Valdovinos was found dead on the ground and it is believed that the same shoelace that killed her mother was used to strangle her. Investigators believe that Meza drove to Rios-Valdovinos' place of employment earlier in the day and strangled her there before carrying out the murders.

Meza allegedly admitted to police that she couldn't recall if she had disposed of Rios-Valdovinos' body before or after strangling her.

Prosecutors stated in filing documents that they are keeping the death penalty on the table in the event that Meza is found guilty. Her next court date is January 4.
