“This was a cruel, brutal way for this young woman to die,” District Attorney Patsy Austin-Gatson said. “Ms. Llanos Gomez has two children who are motherless. This defendant was cold and calculating, and the jury’s swift verdict will deliver much-deserved justice to Ms. Llanos Gomez and to her family and loved ones.”
Officials say Krueger requested an escort on the night of June 16, 2022, and a different woman was sent to his home than the one he wanted. When Llanos Gomez arrived, a dispute erupted over the amount of pay she received.
Krueger was incensed and due to being robbed by a sex worker before, officials say he became angry. Gomez grabbed a knife from Krueger’s kitchen and attempted to leave the house.
