Detective Ybarra was a beloved part of the Abilene community, serving children not only through her job in the Special Victims Unit, but a frequent volunteer at Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
She left behind her husband and 10-month-old baby girl when she was killed on August 6, 2017.
“May Elise’s death awake the heart of this City,” Chief Standridge said during a press conference following her death. “We’ve had enough pain. We’ve had enough tragedy.”
The Abilene Police Department made a social media post in honor of the 8th anniversary of her death, saying that Detective Ybarra’s “infectious laugh, radiant spirit, and unwavering commitment to making Abilene safer continue to inspire all who knew her. Though she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in the lives she touched.”
