A 22-year-old house keeper was at work when her former beau and a friend allegedly attacked and killed her at the Horizon Hotel Resort in Stateline on Sunday afternoon.
Jazmin Gonzalez-Morgado was found dead by another employee inside an eighth-floor room of the hotel, the Tahoe Daily Tribune reported today. According to authorities, she had been beaten and stabbed.
Gonzalez-Morgado had a protective order against the father of her son, Ramiro Valasquez Galicia, 35. Authorities believe she was slain by Valasquez Galicia, aided by Evan Garcia, a guest at the hotel who is being held on charges of accessory to murder and conspiracy. Valasquez Galicia turned himself into authorities in South Lake Tahoe and faces extradition back to Nevada in the case.
