Husband Accused in Lancaster Killing Surrenders in Peru

He faces a Los Angeles murder charge with extradition expected to take months.

Overview

  • Peru’s national police said Jossimar Cabrera Cornejo turned himself in at Interpol Lima and is being held in preventive detention.
  • Los Angeles prosecutors charged him last week with murder and filed a felony extradition complaint that includes a knife-use allegation.
  • The Sheriff’s Department said extradition to the United States is expected to take several months, and it noted he was briefly detained in Mexico and Peru before charges were filed.
  • Security video from the couple’s Lancaster apartment showed a man dragging a large object, which led investigators to find Sheylla Cabrera’s remains on Aug. 16 in Angeles National Forest.
  • The couple’s three children were found in Peru and placed in protective custody, and the medical examiner has not yet determined a cause of death.
