Armed And Dangerous Suspect Sought In North County Murder

FALLBROOK, CA – A 20-year-old woman was shot to death in Fallbrook early Thursday and police searched for a 27-year-old man whom she had previously dated as the suspect in her murder.

Deputies responded about 12:45 a.m. to multiple 911 calls of a shooting in the 1100 block of South Vine Street and when they arrived they discovered the woman, unresponsive, on the ground with grave injuries to her upper body, according to Lt. Rich Williams of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.

The woman, identified as Yesneia Becerril of Fallbrook, was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead at 2 a.m., Williams said.

Detectives identified Oscar Rodas of Fallbrook, as the suspect in her murder and determined Rodas and Becerril had a prior dating relationship, Williams said.

Deputies searched Rodas' home in the 400 block of Ammunition Road, but he was not home and has not been apprehended, Williams said.

Rodas is Hispanic, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 150 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes and a "FVL" tattoo on his neck. He should be considered armed and dangerous, Williams said.

Anyone with information on this incident or the whereabouts of Rodas was asked to call the Sheriff's Homicide Unit at 858-285-6330 or 858-565- 5200. Anonymous tips can be called in to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477 or online at www.sdcrimestoppers.org.
