Desiree Figueroa Pleads Guilty to 2019 Murder of Pregnant Teen

As part of her plea deal, Figueroa will testify against her mother in the upcoming trial.

Desiree Figueroa, 29, has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for her role in the 2019 killing of pregnant teen Marlen Ochoa-Lopez.
As part of her plea deal, Figueroa has agreed to testify against her mother, Clarisa Figueroa, in her upcoming first-degree murder trial.
Prosecutors allege that the Figueroas lured Ochoa-Lopez to their home with the promise of free baby clothes, strangled her, and cut her unborn baby from her womb.
The baby, posthumously named Yovani Lopez, died two months later from severe brain damage.
Clarisa Figueroa's boyfriend, Piotr Bobak, who was tricked into believing he was the baby's father, has already been sentenced to four years in prison for obstruction of justice.
