FBI 'Most Wanted' Fugitive Has Ties To Murrieta, Agency Says

MURRIETA, CA — The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Thursday released a list of one dozen 'most wanted' fugitives wanted in connection to violent crimes in California. The suspects, 10 men and two women, are sought in cases that are unrelated — but each of them is believed to have fled the state to Mexico in order to evade capture.

One of the women sought is known to have ties to the Southwest Riverside County area, officials said.

The FBI and Mexican law enforcement officials issued a joint plea for help in locating the twelve people. The crimes all happened in the Los Angeles area, according to officials.

"In each of the cases being announced today, reward money is being offered in exchange for information that leads to an arrest," an FBI news release stated. "All of the fugitives being announced today are believed to have fled to Mexico and may be residing there."

The FBI said they are hoping to get information about where these people may be, and from there, it "relies on its counterparts in Mexico to assist in the capture of the suspects."

On the list is Xochitl (Sochill) Aurora De La Torre, who the FBI said is wanted "for her alleged involvement in the murder of a man on September 10, 2004, in Los Angeles, California."

De La Torre is thought to be 40 years hold and has used multiple aliases, including: Sochill Aurora De La Torre, Xochitl Aurora De La Torre, Sochill De La Torre, Xochiltl De La Torre, Xochiltl Aurora De La Torre.

"Delatorre may be residing in, and has ties to, Mexico," an FBI flier states. "She also has ties to Murrieta, California."

The woman should be considered armed and dangerous, the FBI said. An award of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to her arrest.
