Jossimar Cabrera, 36, surrendered to authorities in Lima, the Consulate General of Peru informed the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
LA officials said on Wednesday that Cabrera will be extradited back to the US and face charges related to his wife’s murder.
Surveillance footage saw the fugitive husband dragging a suspiciously large sack from their apartment shortly before her body was found in a Southern California national forest.
Sheylla Cabrera, 33, was reported missing on August 12 by concerned neighbors, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
During their investigation, police discovered Ring camera footage of Cabrera dragging a large object wrapped in a what appeared to be a sheet from the apartment the couple lived at with their three young sons in Lancaster.
‘Based on their additional information, they suspected foul play may have been involved with the missing person and notified the Homicide Bureau,’ the sheriff’s department said.
Investigators then launched an extensive search in the wilderness area north of Los Angeles, NBC 4 reported.
On Saturday, the Montrose Mountain Search and Rescue Team made the grim discovery inside Angeles National Forest.
They found an object similar to the material that was seen being dragged by Cabrera over the side of an embankment containing Sheylla’s body.
While her cause of death will be determined by the Los Angles County Medical Examiner’s Office, officials are seeking murder charges against Cabrera, who police believe fled to Peru.
‘This case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for their consideration of filing murder charges against Jossimar Cabrera and obtaining the necessary documents to secure his return to the United States,’ the sheriff’s department said.
On Saturday, the couple’s three kids were located in Peru and taken into protective custody.
Cabrera was briefly detained at the airport in Peru, but was released because he had not been charged, KTLA reported.
Sheylla’s mother, Helga Rocillo Morán, told local media outlet Latina Noticias that the couple and their children migrated to the United States in 2023 in search of a fresh start, but her daughter wanted to come home because of Cabrera’s abuse.
‘She told me that [Cabrera] hit her, mistreated her, and had even hit my youngest grandchild, the youngest of whom is three years old. He had slapped her,’ the concerned mother said.

Morán said that she communicated with Cabrera on August 13 via text message and that he informed her that Sheylla had been detained at a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office during a scheduled appointment.
Morán accused Cabrera of lying because the offices are not open on Sundays and his appointment was scheduled for September.
‘There’s no report with ICE. If she were deported, she would have called me by now,’ Morán said.
A neighbor told the family that she heard loud screams from the home, but decided not to get involved.
A male friend of Sheylla’s told La República newspaper that he reached out to California authorities, which found blood stains in front of the condominium.
Security camera footage showed the couple entering the home before Cabrera appeared alone dragging the sack……CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
