Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, allegedly decapitated her 55-year-old boyfriend at her Anaheim home before fleeing to Mexico. She was arrested on Jan. 22 and extradited back to Anaheim.
A California woman accused of killing and decapitating her boyfriend last year has been arrested in Mexico after a monthslong search, Orange County District Attorney’s Office said.
Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, of Anaheim, faces one count of murder with a felony enhancement for personally using a weapon, prosecutors announced Thursday. Lira, who had been working as an exotic dancer, has been extradited from Mexico to face murder charges.
On Aug. 25, 2025, the decapitated body of 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal was found inside Lira’s Anaheim home. Homicide detectives quickly identified Lira as the suspect, prosecutors said, and learned that she had fled to Mexico.
