Here is the Amazon Promo for Jesse Alvarez:
On February 1, 2021, Jesse Milton Alvarez rose at dawn, and according to the prosecution he was ready to complete a deadly mission. It had been one year and five months since his girlfriend had left him. He had tried everything to win her back, but she was gone. It was a fact he could not accept. When his actions moved into stalking, she sought help from the court and took all measures to protect herself. Now she was in love with another, engaged to be married. Was it just too much for him to bear?
As Jesse Alvarez waited silently outside the new fiancé’s home in North Park, San Diego, lives were about to change forever. It was 6:15 a.m. Just after 7:00 a.m. Mario Fierro, a beloved 37-year-old teacher and coach at Cathedral Catholic High School, emerged, and began packing his car for the day. Jesse approached, and gunfire soon erupted, seven shots in total, leaving Mario Fierro dead on the ground.
But what transpired between the two before the deadly shots rang out? Was it a premeditated ambush as the prosecution claimed? Did Jesse Alvarez see Mario Fierro as his arch nemesis, so filled with burning jealousy he had to destroy him? Or was it the ultimate revenge against his ex-girlfriend, to kill the person she most loved and to take away her dream of a happy marriage? Or was the story entirely different? An act of self-defense or imperfect self-defense as Jesse’s attorneys argued to a jury.
As the murder trial of Jesse Alvarez began in a San Diego courtroom, attorney, true crime writer, and legal analyst Aleida K. Wahn was there for every minute. She now takes you into the courtroom to examine the shocking details of this tragic case, from the unexpected breakup to Jesse’s deep descent into obsession, and to the devastating end.
Find out why a judge only 13 months before the fatal shooting denied Amy Gembara’s request for a restraining order. Was Jesse Alvarez just that persuasive that he could convince a judge he was not a danger? Or was it an error? Although a restraining order cannot stop a person bent on destruction, a restraining order would have prevented Jesse Alvarez from legally purchasing a firearm. Would that have prevented Mario Fierro’s death? Were other signs missed? Could there have been intervention before it was too late?
You will find out the answers and more as Aleida K. Wahn takes you inside the courtroom in this tragic, haunting, and most searing case of deadly obsession.
