Anaheim Woman Arrested in Mexico, Charged with Murder for Allegedly Decapitating Boyfriend

  • Alyssa Marie Lira was extradited from Mexico to Orange County and scheduled for her first court appearance in Fullerton on Feb. 13, facing murder charges after five months on the run.
  • After the Aug. 25, 2025 discovery, Anaheim homicide detectives found Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal's headless body in the 1,300 block of East La Palma Avenue and learned Lira crossed the border.
  • For five months, investigators from local, federal and Mexican agencies pursued and tracked Lira across borders, and Mexican authorities apprehended her at a home south of the border before turning her over at the San Ysidro border checkpoint.
  • Charged with murder and a felony enhancement, Alyssa Marie Lira is held without bail at Orange County jail and faces up to 26 years to life if convicted.
  • Investigators said the slaying is being treated as domestic violence after a two-month relationship, and Todd Spitzer, Orange County District Attorney, called Lira a `cold-blooded killer` while praising the probe's tenacity.
