LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Moses Castillo Investigations -- A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for June 3, 2025, at Los Angeles Superior Court, 210 W. Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, Division 37, regarding the case of Andrea Vazquez, a 19-year-old woman tragically kidnapped and murdered in Whittier, California.
The suspect, Gabriel Sean Esparza, faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, kidnapping, and assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities believe the crime was a random act of violence, with no prior connection between Vazquez and the suspect.
