Pico Rivera, Calif. – The ex-boyfriend of a 16-year-old girl who died in front of her mother last week was arrested Tuesday on a charge of stabbing her to death.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arrested Rory Murga, 17, without incident after deputies spotted him under a railroad underpass in Pico Rivera, about 10 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.
They had been searching for him since Friday, when his ex-girlfriend was stabbed multiple times in the chest and back in her Pico Rivera home just after 3 a.m.
The girl, Elena Moore, 16, died in front of her mother after sheriff’s Lt. Eddie Hernandez said she repeatedly screamed Rory’s name and collapsed.
