The woman who was found dead at ex-cop Elias Huizar’s home earlier this month has been identified as Angelica Santos, his 17-year-old girlfriend and the mother of their infant son.

The family of Santos launched a GoFundMe page following her death.

Her aunt, Samantha Deluna, shared on the campaign that the family was “asking help from our loved ones and the community to help lay my beautiful niece to rest.”

“Jelly [Angelica] lost her life at the young age of 17 years old leaving behind her son Roman, her brother Damien, mother Tiffany, Grandparents Ann and Robert. Along with many aunts, uncles, and cousins,” she wrote.

“The family appreciates any and all help from the community and loved ones at this time. If you can not donate please continue to share and pray for our family,” Deluna continued.

According to the Tri-City Herald, an autopsy obtained by the outlet said Santos was stabbed to death. The West Richland Police Department (WRPD) in Washington said during a recent press conference, however, that her cause of death was undetermined.

Authorities also said during the conference that Huizar died by suicide after murdering Santos and his ex-wife and attempting to flee with the child he and Santos shared.
