Man sentenced to 12 years in prison for Oceanside woman's 1994 stabbing death [Breaking]
A man arrested last year for the 1994 stabbing death of an Oceanside woman was sentenced this week to 12 years in state prison.in Vista Superior Court earlier this month to voluntary manslaughter for the killing of 54-year-old Dolores Rabaya.
The victim was found inside her Edgehill Lane home on Jan. 1, 1994, with more than two dozen stab wounds.The previous evening, Ayala — at the time a 30-year-old Carlsbad resident — and Rabaya had been seen together celebrating New Year’s Eve at a South Coast Highway bar, according to police. Witnesses told investigators it appeared they left together, Deputy District Attorney Brian Erickson said.
“At the time of the murder, an extensive investigation was conducted by ... homicide detectives and was identified , but charges could not be filed due to a lack of physical evidence,” Oceanside Police Department spokeswoman Jennifer Atenza said in a news release issued last year. After the investigation went cold, the District Attorney’s Office reopened the case in 2015, and forensic evidence recovered at the crime scene was resubmitted for examination.
Based on the new findings, an arrest warrant was issued for Ayala in 2016. He was arrested in Mexico in February 2022, then extradited to San Diego County.
