Authorities have not offered further details about the motive for the murder of the 19-year-old, who was killed after leaving a Halloween party in Sacramento. However, new details have emerged that suggest that the murder could allegedly have been a crime of passion.

Monica Beauchamp, the victim’s grandmother, stated that she still cannot believe her granddaughter is dead. “It is beyond what I expect of humanity. What Leilani deserves, she didn’t deserve for her life to end this way,» she said. Likewise, Monica stated that the victim was passionate about life and that she had two younger siblings who she protected.

According to CBS 13, Jessica Quintanilla, of Pittsburg, faced a judge for the first time on Tuesday and was charged with fatally shooting Beauchamp inside the Fairfield home of 20-year-old Travis AFB Airman Juan Parra-Peralta.

The district attorney told the outlet that he thought Parra-Peralta and Quintanilla were in a romantic relationship at the time of the murder and that for this reason the Air Force aviator could have been her accomplice. «This appears to be a love triangle situation,» the district attorney said.

The victim met the airman before the party

The victim’s family claimed that Beauchamp met the airman before the Halloween party and that he had even been to her home in Fairfield. «She wasn’t going to a party with people she didn’t know,» said the victim’s grandmother.

According to officials from Travis Air Force Base, Parra-Peralta was released from the Solano County jail on Monday on a $25,000 bond and is on active duty at the military base.
