GAITHERSBURG, Md. — Two women were arrested in connection to a murder-for-hire plot in Montgomery County.
53-year-old Adelaida Consuelo Zacarias Chacon and 40-year-old Reyna Gomez Lopez have been charged with first-degree conspiracy to commit murder.
Chacon has also been charged with first-degree solicitation to commit murder.
This stems from an incident that happened on June 28, 2024.
Detectives were contacted by a case worker at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office Family Justice Center. The case worker got information that Chacon attempted to hire someone to kill her ex-boyfriend.
Police say Chacon was communicating with her former sister-in-law, Gomez Lopez, indicating Chacon paid Gomez Lopez $1,000 to find someone willing to commit the murder.
A bank transfer confirming the payment was also discovered.
Gomez Lopez is awaiting extradition to Montgomery County.
