Virginia police have arrested a man suspected in the gruesome death of a woman in Great Falls.
Alexis Antonio Cedillos-Campos, 19, was arrested in connection with the homicide of Carmen Lizet Puch, a 42-year-old woman who was found dead Monday in the parking lot of a park, Fairfax County police said.
“Our victim suffered numerous stab wounds in a really brutal, unspeakable way,” Police Chief Kevin Davis said at a Wednesday news conference.
“We have video footage of our suspect at the restaurant where he worked with our victim, arming himself with a fixed blade knife, taking a pair of black latex gloves, taking a water bottle, and then off he goes with the intent to do harm and kill the victim,” the chief said.
Cedillos-Campos is an undocumented immigrant from El Salvador, the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement. He was arrested in 2024 by Customs and Border Protection after illegally crossing the border near El Paso, Texas, the agency said.
