Victor Sosa, 23, of San Francisco was found dead on September 15, 2018. Authorities treated the discovery as suspicious and investigated it as a potential homicide. The case later focused on Victor’s turbulent relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Daisy De La O, and reports in the investigation described a history of abusive behavior by Victor toward Daisy that led to their breakup.

Investigators say surveillance footage showed Victor luring Daisy outside her family’s apartment, attacking her, slashing her throat and wrapping her body in a rug before dragging it into an alley. Daisy’s body was discovered the next morning and Victor fled the scene, reportedly crossing into Mexico and working in Rosarito while evading capture. Social media posts by Daisy’s friends and family helped generate tips that reportedly led to his arrest in July 2021 and extradition back to the United States.

Victor was tried, convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to 26 years to life. Daisy’s family gave victim impact statements during the proceedings. If anyone has information about Victor or Daisy’s final days that could add detail to the timeline, please share it.
