The guy and his three children are said to have escaped to Peru, and the man’s wife was discovered wrapped in a blanket that was identical to the one that was used by the man.
Jossimar Cabrera has been charged with one count of murder in connection with the death of his wife, Sheylla Cabrera. The charges against him include the use of a knife as a lethal weapon in the incident.
In addition, on Friday, a warrant for extradition was filed in order to start the process of bringing Jossimar back to the United States of America in the event that he is arrested. It is thought that he is now located in Peru. He is not currently being held in jail at this time.
District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman issued a statement in which he stated, “The allegations against this man are horrific, and we will do everything possible to bring him back under our jurisdiction so that he can be held accountable.” Family life is shattered and our communities are thrown into disarray as a result of domestic abuse. Those who have been victims of violence are the focus of my office’s efforts to restore stability to their lives.
In the event that he is found guilty of the charges against him, he may get a term ranging from 26 years to life in state prison.
A guy who is accused of murdering his wife was seen on a Ring camera belonging to a neighbor pulling a huge item that was covered in a blanket out from their Lancaster house. The video taken by the Ring camera was unsettling.
Jossimar Cabrera, who is 36 years old, has been identified as a person of interest in connection with the death of his wife, Sheylla Cabrera, who was 33 years old. Sheylla Cabrera’s corpse was discovered in the Angeles National Forest on August 16 during the investigation. The find was discovered four days after the police received a complaint that Sheylla was missing.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the investigation took a new turn on August 13, 2025, when authorities “discovered additional video surveillance of the missing person’s husband dragging a large object in a large piece of material from the apartment complex in the 500 block of Lancaster Boulevard, where the missing person, her husband, and three young sons lived.” This was the moment when the case took a new turn.
An individual who lives nearby shared the footage with a number of different media sources, including FOX 11 and KTLA. In the video, a guy can be seen hauling something around the property, which seems to be a bag or blanket that has something heavy inside of it. It was the footage that caused the Los Angeles Police Department to assume that “foul play may have been involved with the missing person,” which ultimately led to the involvement of the Homicide Bureau in the investigation.
Sheylla and the three children of the couple were added to the missing people database at the same time that homicide investigators started looking into the matter, and they are still doing so at this day.
In addition, investigators collaborated with the Mexican General Consulate and the Peruvian General Consulate “with alerts for the person of interest in this case,” Jossimar, when they were notified that he had departed the United States. On August 16, the three children of the couple were placed in protective care in Peru.
A member of the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team reported that they “had spotted an object similar to the material that was seen being taken away by the person of interest over the side of an embankment in the National Angeles Forrest.” This information was provided on the same day. We discovered Sheylla inside, and she was declared dead at the site of the accident. At this time, the cause of death has not been identified.
An individual who is thought to be Jossimar was seen being held by police in Peru, but he was later freed awaiting charges, according to sources from KTLA.
Authorities have confirmed that Cabrera’s investigation “will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for their consideration of filing murder charges against Jossimar Cabrera and obtaining the necessary documents to secure his return to the United States.”
During an interview with ABC 7, the relatives of the victim said that Jossimar originally asserted that she had been abducted by ICE. Subsequently, she reportedly stated that she had departed with another guy and then, according to another story, she had an accident. During their most recent conversation, Sheylla’s mother shared with the outlet that her daughter had filed a complaint against her husband for domestic abuse in Peru, and that she intended to do the same thing in Lancaster.
The mother of Gutierrez claims that her daughter filed a complaint against her husband for domestic abuse in Peru, and that the last time they talked, she informed her daughter that she would be submitting a report against him in Lancaster.
