A suspect has been arrested in connection to the murder of Mercedes Vega, 22, who was found dead in a burning car on the side of an Arizona highway in April 2023.
On Nov. 11, 22-year-old Sencere Hayes was arrested in Tennessee in connection to Vega's death, a spokesperson for the Maricopa Sheriff's Office told ABC News.
Vega worked as an exotic dancer, her family said.
According to her obituary, Vega was a talented singer and straight-A student who loved to swim and play violin. Loved ones remembered her for her "huge heart."
"Even from beyond this earth she still comforts and loves. Her Spirit is strong and powerful. She will forever be remembered by everyone who had the extraordinary opportunity to meet her," her obituary reads.

Very sad story, hope this bring the family a sense of relief that the murderer of their loved one was finally caught and will be punished, over a year later.
There is no “closure” to loved ones and family members of those who are murdered - only coping.

Who worked as a stripper.
Not that should gotten her killed
With a name like “Mercedes Vega”, it is appropriate that she should die in a car.
Yep. Pegged that Sincere.
Ok, a stripper in that article. The posted one talked only about when she was in school so knew they were leaving out a lot.
She had also been working with the police regarding a previous case where she had been robbed.
They haven't said if her murder was related to this.
As a side note, strippers both tend to have a lot of cash on hand and, sad but true, often run around with unsavory characters while engaging in other forms of sex work that they don't talk about.
The murderer was yet another tarantula-head. Is it conformation bias due to what people choose to post here, or does it seem that idiots sporting the tarantula-head doo have a “disparate impact” on horrific crimes against women?
Where’s the Dilbert cartoonist?
Please note the article said she was abducted from her apartment.
Where in TN ???
Hamilton County, apparently.
Mercedes Vega died in a Chevy
