Husband flees country before missing wife's body is found in forest, CA cops say
A missing woman has been found dead in a forest, and her husband — a person of interest in her killing — has fled the country, California deputies said. Sheylla Cabrera, 33, was first reported missing Aug. 12, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in an Aug. 19 news release. As detectives investigated her disappearance further, they found video surveillance on Aug. 13 that showed Cabrera's 'husband dragging a large object in a large piece of material from the apartment complex' in Lancaster, where the two lived with their three young sons, deputies said. McClatchy News is not naming the 36-year-old husband as he has not been formally charged. Additional information led deputies to suspect foul play in Cabrera's disappearance, and homicide detectives joined the investigation, the sheriff's office said. Deputies said they entered Cabrera's three children into a missing persons system. An investigator requested multiple search and rescue agencies to search Angeles National Forest on Aug. 13 and notified the Mexican General Consulate and the Peruvian General Consulate about Cabrera's husband, deputies said. Soon after, deputies said they were notified that the husband had already fled the country. Four days after Cabrera was reported missing, deputies said her children were found in Peru and taken into protective custody Aug. 16. The same day, the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team told deputies they spotted an object that looked similar to the one the husband was seen taking 'over the side of an embankment' in the forest. An investigator found that the material concealed Cabrera's body, according to deputies. The Los Angles County Medical Examiner's Office will determine Cabrera's cause of death, deputies said. Investigators will present the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, suggesting murder charges be filed against Cabrera's husband and requesting proper documentation to bring him back to the country, deputies said, adding that they believe he is in Peru. Lancaster is about a 60-mile drive north from Los Angeles.

Boxer Julio César Chávez Jr. deported to Mexico
Mexican boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to Mexico over alleged cartel ties and faces weapons charges in the country, Trump the administration announced. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to The Hill that Chavez Jr., the son of legendary boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., was deported on Monday to Mexico, where he has had an active arrest warrant for allegedly trafficking guns, ammunition and explosives, along with an alleged affiliation with the Sinaloa Cartel. 'It is shocking the Biden administration flagged this criminal illegal alien as a public safety threat, but chose to not prioritize his removal and let him leave and COME BACK into our country,' DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the deportation on Tuesday during a press conference. 'I understand he was deported. I don't know if it was yesterday or this morning, but we were informed that he was arriving in Mexico,' Sheinbaum stated, according to The Associated Press. Chavez Jr. was arrested by federal officers in early July, days after his fight with Jake Paul in California. Chavez Jr., who won the WBC middleweight title in 2011, was convicted of drunken driving in 2012 and was sentenced to 13 days in jail in California. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested the boxer in January 2024, charging him with illegal possession of an assault weapon and manufacture of import of short short-barreled rifle, according to DHS. Chavez Jr. was freed on bond and the case has been pending, the AP reported. 'Under President Trump, no one is above the law—including world-famous athletes. Our message to any cartel affiliates in the U.S. is clear: We will find you and you will face consequences,' McLaughlin said. 'The days of unchecked cartel violence are over.'
