"A 23-year-old Anaheim woman who fled to Mexico after she allegedly decapitated her 55-year-old boyfriend last year was extradited back to Orange County, authorities said."
"For five months, Orange County, Mexican and FBI authorities worked to find and arrest her. On Jan. 22, she was taken into custody by Mexican authorities, Edds said, and the next day Anaheim detectives picked her up at the San Ysidro border crossing. She was being held in jail without the possibility of bail."
"Nothing, not time, not distance, nor foreign borders, will thwart our pursuit of justice, and Orange County law enforcement will continue to go to the very ends of the earth to carry out our mission and hold criminals accountable for the heinous acts they commit, District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement. He called Lira a cold-blooded killer."
Anaheim resident Ashley Marie Lira, 23, fled to Mexico after the alleged decapitation of her 55-year-old boyfriend, Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal. On Aug. 25, 2025, police discovered Gonzalez-Carbajal's headless body at Lira's home on East La Palma Avenue. Lira and Gonzalez-Carbajal had dated for two months prior to the killing. She was charged with murder and faces a maximum sentence of 26 years to life if convicted. The type of weapon used remains unknown. After five months of joint efforts by Orange County, Mexican and FBI authorities, she was taken into custody in Mexico on Jan. 22 and returned across the San Ysidro border. She is held without bail and will appear in Fullerton on Feb. 13 and may enter a plea.
