Julieta Arvizu, a 49-year-old Latina, was found dead on October 11, 2018, on a property in the 30900 block of East 106th Street in Littlerock, in the southeast Antelope Valley. Her remains were discovered as part of an investigation at a house where five decomposed bodies and, later, additional partial remains were recovered. The residence had been linked to a suspected drug dealer, Jesus Chuy Guzman, who rented the home and was evicted on August 30, 2018, the same day deputies served a search warrant and seized evidence of methamphetamine production, weapons, and stolen vehicles.
Arvizu had been reported missing on January 14, 2018, along with her boyfriend Cuauhtemoc Lara and their friend Jose Jorge Lara Paez; the three had been living together in a trailer near Pearblossom Highway and 72nd Street East and vanished after leaving behind all their possessions and losing cellphone activity. Guzman became a prime suspect in their disappearances and was later tracked near the California-Nevada border, where he was shot and killed by U.S. Marshals on November 8, 2018, after pulling a handgun during the pursuit. Many questions remain about how Arvizu and the other missing people died and how those deaths connect to the activity at the Littlerock property.
If anyone knew Julieta, Cuauhtemoc, or Jose Jorge Lara Paez, or has information about the property on East 106th Street, please come forward.
