BREAKING Torrance man pleads no contest in rape, murder of young woman and teen in 2011
In the midst of his trial, a Torrance man pleaded no contest Monday to raping and murdering a teenage girl and a young woman about eight months apart in 2011, opening himself to a sentence of life behind bars without parole.
Lozano's body was found about 11:40 p.m. April 25, 2011, alongside the Golden State Freeway near State Street in Boyle Heights. Police said the body had been wrapped in plastic bags, put in a plastic container and dumped over a masonry barrier along the freeway, and that the container broke open when it hit the ground.
Guzman had been reported missing a month earlier. She left her home in Lincoln Heights the day after Christmas to go to a store but never returned. "After the familial search, a person was identified as a contributory match to the suspect," Beck said shortly after Borjas' arrest. "That individual was suspect's father, who was arrested on a non-sexual-assault-type crime earlier in his life."
