Shocking moment Las Vegas lesbian, 37, ‘dumps girlfriend’s mother’s body by side of road after strangling her with SHOELACES’: Accused of killing girlfriend moments later before crashing her car and ‘confessing’

Shocking surveillance footage captured the moment a Las Vegas lesbian allegedly dumped her girlfriend's body on the side of the road in broad daylight before driving off to kill her friend a block away.

Rosemary Meza, 37, faces two charges in the September deaths of her friend Alyssa Valdovinos, 26, and her friend's mother, Norma Rios-Valdovinos, 58.

Prosecutors have now released footage of what they allege is Meza callously discarding Rios-Valdovinos' body on the sidewalk after allegedly strangling her with a shoelace later found in her car during a car accident.

While investigators examined the body found on the side of the road, a welfare check was conducted at Meza's girlfriend's home, leading them to discover that Valdovinos was dead from suspected strangulation with the same shoelace.

The video of Meza allegedly carrying out the killings appears to have been lifted from a home security system by police and shows a gray car stopped on the side of the road across the street.

Meza, prosecutors say, then gets out of the car and walks around the back, opens the rear passenger door and drags a body out.

Officers arrived on the scene shortly after 6 p.m. and found Rios-Valdovinos had “deep ligature marks on her neck,” and “it appeared she had been attacked and had been defending herself,” reports 8NewsNow.

Paramedics rushed Rios-Valdovinos to hospital, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Later that same evening, police responded to reports of a car crash about three miles from where the mother's body was found, with officials saying Meza crashed her car into construction equipment.

A blood-soaked shoelace was reportedly found in Meza's vehicle after the murders, and was believed to be the murder weapon after both victims were found with ligature marks.

When detectives spoke with Meza, it reportedly became clear that she was a person of interest in the body found earlier in the day, especially since she fit the description of the person seen dumping the body.

Officers also reportedly found smeared blood on the armrest of the car's center console, and on shoelaces in the vehicle Meza allegedly used to carry out the alleged murders.

While in custody, the 37-year-old confessed to killing her friend, according to transcripts of a grand jury indictment.

The officer who spoke to Meza claimed to the grand jury that she “just told me she was a bad person and I should just kill her now.”

'And I replied, no, I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that to anyone. And then she said she hurt her friend and her friend's mother,” the officer said.

The footage shows the gray vehicle driving away, leaving Rios-Valdovinos' body in the street, and detectives said she had “deep ligature marks on her neck,” and that “it appeared she had been attacked and was defending herself.” .

Valdovinos' home was searched later in the day, where investigators found her dead on the floor from an apparent strangulation.

Officers then conducted an ill-fated welfare check at Valdovinos' home, just blocks from where her mother's body was found earlier in the day near Las Vegas Boulevard.

Police say they found Valdovinos dead on the ground, and it is feared she was strangled with the same shoelace used to kill her mother.

Investigators suspect Meza committed the murders by first driving to Rios-Valdovinos' workplace earlier in the day, where she allegedly strangled her.

According to 8NewsNow, Meza told officers she could not remember whether she dumped Rios-Valdovinos' body before or after strangling Valdovinos.

She is due in court on January 4, and prosecutors wrote in the documents that they are keeping the death penalty on the table if Meza is convicted.
