Suspect Extradited to LA After Alleged Murder of Wife
UPDATE: A man suspected of murdering his wife has been extradited from Peru to Los Angeles to face charges. Jossimar Cabrera, 36, landed at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday night, just weeks after being apprehended in Peru where he fled with the couple’s three young sons.
Los Angeles officials confirm that Cabrera faces a murder charge following the discovery of his wife, Sheylla Cabrera, 33, whose body was found on August 16 in Angeles National Forest, south of Lancaster. She had been reported missing just four days earlier, on August 12. The case has drawn significant attention due to its tragic nature and the involvement of their children.
Homicide detectives reported finding surveillance footage capturing Cabrera dragging a heavy object wrapped in a large piece of material from their apartment complex. When Sheylla’s body was discovered, it was similarly wrapped, raising serious concerns about the circumstances surrounding her death.
The LA County Sheriff’s Department has not disclosed the cause of death, fueling public interest and speculation. Cabrera fled to Peru shortly after the alleged crime, but authorities acted swiftly. Peru’s foreign ministry indicated on social media that it had successfully repatriated the couple’s three sons back to Los Angeles, where they are now with family members.
As the investigation unfolds, questions remain about Cabrera’s legal representation; it is currently unknown if he has secured an attorney. The district attorney’s office is prepared to move forward with the case, emphasizing that justice for Sheylla is a priority.
What’s Next: Cabrera is expected to face arraignment soon, and the public is urged to stay updated as more details emerge. This developing story highlights the urgent need for community support for the children affected by this tragedy.
Stay tuned for further updates on this pressing case.
