'Dreamer' suspected of murdering Las Vegas girl caught after UNTHINKABLE act while on the run
A so-called 'Dreamer' suspected of murdering his Las Vegas girlfriend was finally caught after he allegedly killed another lover while on the run for two years.
Oswald Pérez-Sánchez, who reportedly entered the US illegally as a child, was arrested in his home country of Mexico after fleeing across the southern border in 2023.
The 28-year-old was wanted in connection to the murder of his girlfriend Tabatha Tozzi in Las Vegas.
Tozzi, 26, died two days after she was shot in a horrific murder captured on a neighbor's security camera.
Police allege Pérez-Sánchez, who goes by 'Nate', shot Tozzi before stealing her friend's car in the Nevada suburb about 12 miles west of the Vegas Strip. Moments before the shooting, a witness told police a woman was heard saying 'I want my keys back, get out of my car'.
The FBI launched a sweeping manhunt but Pérez-Sánchez remained free until almost exactly two years later; when he was arrested for allegedly murdering his new lookalike girlfriend, Vivian Aispuro.
Pérez-Sánchez killed Aispuro at a residence in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa, on March 22, according to the Sinaloa State Attorney General's Office.
Her body was abandoned and found wrapped in plastic near a housing community April 15 - one week shy of the two-year anniversary of his former girlfriend's murder on April 22, 2023.
A so-called 'Dreamer' suspected of murdering his Las Vegas girlfriend was finally caught after he allegedly killed another lover while he on the run for two years.
Tozzi died two days after the incident. A second witness told police that Tozzi wanted to end her relationship and that he 'held her at his house and would not let her leave.'
While in Mexico, Pérez-Sánchez identified himself to locals as 'Jorge.'
However, authorities were able to confirm his real identity with the United States Consulate.
'As a result of intelligence work and the operations of UNESA and the Investigative Police of this Attorney General's Office, the identity of this alleged perpetrator was identified,' Sinaloa Attorney General Claudia Sánchez said in a statement.
'With the information provided by the Investigative Police and the technological resources provided by these two institutions, we were able to locate the alleged perpetrator,' the prosecutor added.
Pérez-Sánchez remains in pretrial detention at the Aguaruto Penitentiary Center.
'I am happy and also very sad. I am happy because the killer of my daughter Tabatha got caught, a moment we had been waiting for almost 2 years!' Tozzi's mother, Regina Lacerda, said in a statement.
'I knew in my heart this moment was arriving soon, and it finally did. But I am also very sad because he took the life of another young woman: Vivian Karely. Her name deserves to be honored and we will keep honoring her as well.'
Tozzi's family told Las Vegas police investigators that Pérez-Sánchez's had a visa 'that prohibited him from leaving the [United States].'
Under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, Pérez-Sánchez was a 'Dreamer' granted temporary protection from being being deported and authorization to work.
A former official with the Sonora State Attorney General's Office told that if he is found guilty in Mexico for Aispuro's murder, he will have to serve his jail sentence there first.
Upon the completion of the sentence, he would be subject to extradition, but the process could take several years.
