They say he is not a suspect in her death.

Tony Rodriguez, Tenorio's brother, confirmed the death of his sister and sent the following statement:



"Almarosa was a very loving daughter, sister, mom and grandmother with a good heart," he wrote. "Her passion was teaching and working with children. She had a vivacious personality with a smile that would light up a room. We are sad that she was taken from us at such a young age. She will be missed by all that knew her."
