He took his alleged victim, who had been working at the bar for around five months as a dancer and sex worker, into a room at the hotel. Security cameras at the hotel spotted the suspect and victim together before checking into the room, according to the complaint. About an hour-and-a-half after the suspect and victim entered the room, the suspect exited the room alone. Thirteen minutes later, cameras at the San Ysidro Port of Entry showed the suspect giving his documents to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer as he crossed back into the U.S. The victim was found strangled to death in the room around 11 hours later, according to the complaint.
Three employees at the bar described the man who went into the room with the victim as having an acne-scarred face and a mole on the left side of his nose.
