Three people have been charged in connection to a brutal beating of a former Republican State Senate candidate on Christmas Eve.
Vanessa Tijerina told KVEO she was lured to a Texas Inn, on Frontage road, by a woman in a “black bra.”
The woman said she needed to tell the former candidate “something very important regarding her safety.”
Three people then proceeded to beat her, according to Tijerina.
Police said Amanda Salinas, Ariel Vera and Raymond Santana were arrested. Police are still looking for a fourth, who was on the phone giving orders to the others.
Tijerina ran for the Texas State Senate in 2020 to represent District 27. She garnered 35% of the vote in the general election against incumbent Eddie Lucio, who has served in the Senate since 1991.
She also was a 2016 Green Party candidate for the U.S. House to represent the 15th Congressional District of Texas.
