Angelina Camillia Gonzales, a 17-year-old high school cheerleader, was found stabbed to death in Azusa, California, days before Christmas. Her family believes her ex-boyfriend is responsible and claims he picked her up from a cheerleading banquet before bringing her back to his house where she was later found fatally injured.
A suspect is in custody in connection to the brutal murder of a 17-year-old high school cheerleader who was found stabbed to death in California days before Christmas. The family of Angelina Camillia Gonzales claims the young woman's ex-boyfriend is to blame. Gonzales' family told local station KABC that her ex-boyfriend picked her up from a cheerleading banquet and brought her back to his house on Dec. 20. Around 10 p.m.
that night, officers with the Azusa Police Department found Gonzales suffering from stab wounds. She was rushed to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, police said. The family claims one of them was able to track Gonzales' cell phone to her ex-boyfriend's house, according to KABC. 'When I got there, there was already crime scene tape up and forensics and all kinds of stuff. And I ran up to the officers like, 'Hey, my daughter's in there. You know, my daughter is in there. I'm trying to find her. She's not home.' And that's when they told me, sit aside for a minute,' Robert Caraballo, Angelina's stepfather, told KABC. Caraballo said that he told his step-daughter to stay away from her ex-boyfriend numerous times, but he also said that she had a 'really big heart and always saw the good in him.' According to a GoFundMe page set up by Gonzales' mother, Letica Carabello, she was about to turn 18 on Jan. 7. 'She had such a great future ahead of her. She had a heart of gold. She was my perfect gorgeous Angel baby,' Letica Carabello wrote. 'I don't even have the words to say. I can't even cope. I need her. Our family is devastated. We appreciate all the support and love.
