Fraylee Hernandez of Mendota, Fresno County, California, United States was found dead on January 17, 2024. He was 25.
That day, Fresno County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to check on Hernandez’s car parked in the middle of an orchard near Mendota. They found his dismembered body inside the car.
Hernandez was murdered allegedly by an undocumented migrant from El Salvador. Detectives believe that two were acquaintances.
The suspect, who is male, was 17 when Hernandez was killed. When homicide detectives with the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office arrested the suspect on April 5, 2024, he was 18.
The Salvadoran teenager was booked into the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus in Fresno, Fresno County. He was charged with homicide.
According to the detectives, the teenager is also on probation for assaulting his mother. His name was not released because he is in the juvenile court system.
The court can transfer the case to an adult court later. Why Hernandez was murdered and dismembered by the suspect is still unclear.
