TEXAS CITY, Texas – Two people were arrested Wednesday south of San Antonio in connection to a Texas City woman's death, KSAT 12's sister station KPRC in Houston reports.

Investigators took 19-year-old Cory McCray and a 17-year-old believed to be Cindy Esquivel in Atascosa County Wednesday evening.

Last week, police said they found the body of 33-year-old Lucy Bertrand in her home and determined that she had been stabbed and beaten to death.

Documents say McCray beat Bertrand with a pistol and Esquivel allegedly stabbed her. Both will be held on a $250,000 bond when booked in the Galveston County Jail.
