Overview
- Los Angeles County prosecutors announced charges on Friday against 40-year-old Ruben Fregosojuarez, filing one count of murder and one misdemeanor child-abuse count in the death of his partner.
- Police conducting a welfare check on Monday found the victim dead inside a West Adams home and reported the couple’s child, Daleza, missing.
- Surveillance photos published by local media show a man believed to be the suspect holding the girl’s hand and carrying a suitcase in a San Ysidro parking garage on Sunday.
- An Amber Alert was issued and officers located the suspect’s Land Rover near the San Ysidro point of entry, but the father and child were not found and investigators say they may have gone to Mexico.
- Prosecutors say they will work with federal and Mexican law enforcement to find the child and seek justice, and if convicted as charged the suspect faces roughly 25 years to life in state prison.
