Overview

• King County prosecutors filed two first-degree murder charges with deadly-weapon enhancements in the Sept. 8 stabbings of Victoria Aparicio Cruz and Yaneth Gomez-Hernandez.
• Detectives report no forced entry, a single set of bloody footprints to the door, and blood on the inside of the deadbolt indicating the door was locked from within when he left.
• A curved 7-inch fillet knife was recovered on the apartment grounds, and charging papers say recent texts show a breakup about an hour before the 911 call.
• Ortiz-Montecinos told detectives an unknown man attacked them, but investigators say those claims conflict with the physical and digital evidence.
• He remains jailed on $10 million bail, and ICE has placed a detainer citing flight-risk concerns tied to family in Guatemala as relatives of Gomez-Hernandez raise funds to return her remains.
