A woman named Laken Riley was killed during her morning run in under 30 minutes.

Laken Riley, a young and vibrant 22-year-old, started her day like any other on the morning of February 22nd. She left her home at 9:03am, ready for a refreshing jog to start her day off right. With her trusty iPhone in hand, she also brought along her smartwatch and noise-cancelling AirPods for the run. Little did she know, this would be her last morning alive.

Just 25 minutes after leaving her house, Laken was found dead. Her house's Ring camera had captured her departure, wearing a ponytail and dressed in workout gear. Her roommates were concerned when she didn't return home, as Laken was known for being punctual and sticking to her schedule. After searching for hours, they used the Find My feature on her phone and discovered that her location had not changed since she left.

Worried for their friend's safety, Laken's roommates called the authorities. A university police officer searched the nearby trails and, within 20 minutes, found Laken's partially nude remains. The trial for Jose Ibarra, an undocumented Venezuelan migrant, resumed on Monday as the prosecution presented new evidence to support their belief that he was responsible for Laken's death.

During the trial, prosecutors revealed that Laken's last moments were captured on camera and through her phone's location data. Laken had been spending the morning at home, doing school work and watching Netflix with her roommate. She left for her run around 9:05am, and at 9:06am her mother tried to call her, but Laken did not answer. Her worried mother then contacted Laken's roommates, who shared their phone locations with each other, including Laken's.

Unfortunately, the roommates were unable to locate Laken due to service issues with their provider. They eventually found her AirPods on the trail but no sign of Laken. The women then contacted the police and reported her missing. The Garmin smartwatch that Laken was wearing provided crucial data that showed a struggle had taken place during her run. It also revealed that she had called 911 and her heart rate had dropped before she disappeared into the woods.

Through DNA evidence found under Laken's fingernails and the smartwatch data, prosecutors were able to paint a picture of what happened during her final moments. Laken had bravely fought for her life, but unfortunately, her heart stopped at 9:28am. As the trial continues, more details are expected to be revealed about the tragic and senseless loss of Laken Riley.
