ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - A woman found dead at the scene of a Southern California car crash was killed before the collision and police have arrested a homicide suspect, authorities said.
The body of Jessie Villesca was discovered inside a pickup truck involved in a crash Friday at an intersection in San Diego County, the Orange County Register reported Monday.
Investigators suspect the 56-year-old died earlier in the day in Anaheim and was the victim of a homicide, police said.
Police arrested the pickup’s owner, Abdulaziz Munther Alubidy, on suspicion of her murder, the newspaper reported. It wasn’t known Monday if the 30-year-old has an attorney.
Both the victim and the suspect are residents of Anaheim, police said.
Details on how Villesca was killed or a possible motive were not immediately released.
