A female suspect was taken into custody for causing the death of a person who received illegal silicone butt injections.

Last week, a suspect who had been evading authorities in Mexico was finally arrested for a homicide case dating back to 2013 in Citrus Heights, California. The suspect, 49-year-old Alejandra Aguilera-Ortega, allegedly administered illegal silicone injections to a person's buttocks, resulting in their death.

Aguilera-Ortega appeared in court for the first time on August 21, where she was read her charges with the help of a Spanish interpreter. She was also assigned a public defender to represent her. The victim's family, who knew the victim as Emilia, was present in the courtroom as well, finally seeing the accused killer of their loved one after 11 years.

According to Citrus Heights police, Aguilera-Ortega is a transgender woman who worked as an escort and had an adult page in 2014. The news of her arrest was met with shock and fear by residents of the apartment complex where she was apprehended. One anonymous resident wondered how she ended up there and how long she had been living there.

While these questions remain unanswered, Citrus Heights police believe that Aguilera-Ortega had been hiding in Mexico since May 2013, which complicated the case. When someone is on the run, they may change their identity or appearance, making it difficult for law enforcement to track them down. However, in this case, a tip-off led to her eventual capture in Citrus Heights.

According to investigators, on April 30, 2013, the victim, Diego Lopez, was rushed to the hospital from an apartment in Citrus Heights. He had been visiting from Oakland and was a friend of Aguilera-Ortega. He was suffering from severe complications from non-medical grade silicone injections in his buttocks, which ultimately led to his death on May 7, 2013.

Aguilera-Ortega will continue to be represented by a public defender and is scheduled to appear in court again on September 25. The community of Citrus Heights is still reeling from the shocking news of this 11-year-old case finally being solved and the arrest of the suspect who had been on the run for so long.
