An 18-year-old Azusa man accused of stabbing and killing a 17-year-old cheerleader , his alleged ex-girlfriend, has been charged with one count of murder, the district attorney’s office said.
Daniel Rodriguez allegedly stabbed the victim, who was identified by family as Angelina Camillia Gonzales, Friday night in the area of North Soldano Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The department says he’s been booked on suspicion of murder, with an allegation of the use of a knife. His arraignment was continued to Jan. 8, and his bail has been set at more than $2 million.
Gonzales was found with multiple stab wounds and died later at a hospital. Her family says that the Azusa High School teen was found at her ex-boyfriend’s house.
An Azusa family is mourning the death of a 17-year-old cheerleader whose life was taken in a vicious act of violence just days before Christmas.
They told Eyewitness News the suspect picked her up from a cheerleading banquet and brought her back to his house. A family member then tracked her cell phone location.
