Suspect in wife's death surrenders to Interpol in Peru

Jossimar Cabrera Cornejo, the primary suspect in the death of his wife Sheyla Gutiérrez, has surrendered to international police in Peru. Gutiérrez, a Peruvian national, was found dead in California after being reported missing by her family on August 9.

Cabrera, 36, voluntarily presented himself to Interpol in Lima with his lawyer, accompanied by an international arrest warrant for extradition from the United States. U.S. authorities had issued the warrant for his arrest in connection with the murder of his wife and mother of his three children.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office alleges that Sheyla Gutiérrez was murdered in their Lancaster apartment on August 10. Cabrera is accused of then taking the couple's three minor children and fleeing to Peru. He faces a potential sentence of 26 years to life in state prison if convicted of murder with a deadly weapon.

Sheyla's sister, Jessy Gutiérrez, is urging Peruvian authorities to expedite Cabrera's extradition process, while also awaiting the return of her sister's body. The case is being handled by deputy district attorneys Diane Hong and Tyler Zaremba, and remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
