Castro had three children and four grandchildren.

"My mother was a beautiful, free spirit who did not deserve to leave this world the way she did. My mother's life was taken by someone not even human enough to say 'sorry,'" Jennifer Castro said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Harris County Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers.

"She loved us very much. She was always happy, a light to our world."
