A routine food delivery took a horrifying turn in Charlotte, North Carolina, when a DoorDash driver’s keen sense of smell led to a grim discovery. The driver, simply trying to complete an order, noticed an unsettling odor emanating from a residence, a smell that would unravel a tragic mystery.
Driven by an inexplicable unease, the driver contacted the authorities, reporting something was terribly wrong. Court records indicate the driver had been specifically informed a body was inside the home, though the source of that chilling information remains unknown.
On March 10th, police arrived at the apartment and made a gruesome find. Hidden within a closet, concealed beneath towels and blankets, lay the decomposing remains of Evelin Carolina Enamorado-Cisnado. The scene spoke of a desperate attempt to conceal a violent act.
Within 24 hours, Lhis Birito Costa, 23, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with Enamorado-Cisnado’s death. The swift arrest offered a small measure of relief amidst the unfolding tragedy.
Investigators soon learned the two women shared a past, a history of a romantic relationship gone tragically wrong. Costa, while in custody, confessed to shooting Enamorado-Cisnado, fueled by jealousy and rage after discovering her former partner’s involvement with another person.
A judge swiftly ordered Costa to be held without bond, recognizing the severity of the crime and the potential flight risk, compounded by the fact that court documents reveal she is not a legal resident of the United States. Her legal representation and plea remain currently unknown.
The loss has devastated Enamorado-Cisnado’s family, particularly her aunt, Guadalupe Cisneros, who publicly shared her grief. A heartfelt plea for donations was posted, seeking assistance to return Evelin’s body to her homeland of Honduras.
“A harmless girl who didn’t mess with anyone,” Cisneros wrote, her words echoing the senselessness of the loss. “How could that miserable woman take her life without mercy, simply because my niece didn’t want to be with her anymore?” The pain of a family shattered by violence resonated deeply.
