The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said it was informed
by the Consulate General of Peru that Jossimar Cabrera, 36,
surrendered to authorities in the capital city of Lima.
Sheylla Cabrera’s body was found Aug. 16 at the bottom of an
embankment in Angeles National Forest south of the LA County
city of Lancaster, where the couple lived with their three young
sons. The 33-year-old had been reported missing on Aug. 12.
Homicide detectives said they located surveillance footage of
Jossimar Cabrera dragging a heavy object wrapped “in a large
piece of material” from their apartment complex. When the
victim's body was discovered, it was wrapped in similar
material, the sheriff's department said.
The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office last week
filed a murder charge against Jossimar Cabrera. It wasn't known
Wednesday if he has an attorney.
The suspect had fled to Peru with the couple's three sons.
Peru’s foreign ministry said Aug. 16 on social media that it had
repatriated the children back to Los Angeles via Mexico City to
be reunited with their mother’s family.
“It will take several months in order to extradite Cabrera to
the United States, but with a current order in place, he will be
kept in Peruvian custody pending his extradition,” a sheriff's
department statement said.
The coroner’s office will determine Sheylla Cabrera’s cause of
death.
