A Texas woman has pleaded guilty to murder a year after she viciously stabbed her mother to death while acting as her caregiver.

Rachel Zamarripa, 22, entered a guilty plea almost one year to the day after she called 911 and said she killed her mother, 58-year-old Linda Zamarripa. On Aug. 31, 2024, Rachel Zamarripa told dispatchers that she stabbed her mother. Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said during a press conference days after the incident that first responders arrived to a "grisly" scene at the Zamarripa home, and Linda Zamarripa had been stabbed "well over a couple dozen times."

"The knife was still lodged in her chest when first responders arrived," Salazar said.
