Overview
- Gurrola, 32, was arrested around Oct. 9–10 and is being held at Las Colinas Women’s Detention Center after a state complaint was filed on Oct. 10.
- Authorities say the charge stems from the Feb. 17, 2024 shooting in University City in which Christian Espinoza Silver, known as ‘El Chato,’ was fatally wounded and a second occupant survived.
- San Diego police described the attack as a direct, execution-style ambush carried out on foot as the victims arrived at an apartment parking area.
- Records show a hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20 in San Diego Superior Court, and reporting indicates additional federal charges could be pursued as the investigation continues.
- Coverage notes Gurrola’s large social-media following and prior inclusion in Sinaloa flyers alleging ties to ‘Los Chapitos,’ as well as reporting that she had a romantic relationship with the victim.
