Five months after her boyfriend’s headless body was discovered inside her home, a California woman who had been working as an exotic dancer has been extradited from Mexico to face murder charges.
Alyssa Marie Lira, 23, of Anaheim, faces one count of murder with a felony enhancement for personally using a weapon, prosecutors announced Thursday.
On Aug. 25, 2025, the decapitated body of 55-year-old Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal was found inside Lira’s Anaheim home. Homicide detectives quickly identified Lira as the suspect, prosecutors said, and learned she had fled to Mexico.
The couple had been dating for about two months and met as Lira was working at a local strip club, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
Local authorities worked with the FBI and Mexican officials to locate and arrest Lira. She was taken into custody Jan. 22 and turned over to Anaheim police homicide detectives the following day at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. Authorities did not disclose where in Mexico she was found.
“Nothing — not time, not distance, nor foreign borders — will thwart our pursuit of justice, and Orange County law enforcement will continue to go to the very ends of the Earth to carry out our mission and hold criminals accountable for the heinous acts they commit,” DA Todd Spitzer said in a statement.
Lira is being held without bail at the Orange County Jail with an arraignment scheduled for Feb. 13.
“This investigation and prosecution are a testament to the tenacity and dedication of the Anaheim Police Department, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, and our federal and international partners to identify a cold-blooded killer, track her down in a foreign country, and bring her back to the United States to face the full weight of the law,” Spitzer said.
Prosecutors have not yet revealed a motive.
ewww
if you’re gonna date a stripper, date a pretty one at least
Headless body in topless bar
It has all the hallmarks of AI.
Brings new meanings to getting head.
Proving, once again, that one should be careful what they ask for!
…and the stripper wins by a nose…no a head!
My thought as well. Kinda cute but dead eyes. And now, a boyfriend to match.
Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice, thats what Little Girls are Made of.
The guy just lost his head over her. My question is where is the paper bag he put over her head
My son went to college with them.
Is she one of them Santa Muerte worshippers ?
Dead eyes...signs of a hard life.
You can see snakes and midgets with knives in that one’s eyes…..
Is this a crime?
And a dangerous mind
She seems nice. Laz can fix her.
An adult dancer? She must dance with a bag over her head...
She probably waited for him to fall asleep, or drugged him, or hit him on the head with something to knock him cold.
There’s no scenario in this world where I could imagine her being able to do that while he was conscious.
Have you seen my head? My love lost it. She's a dancer at a Gentlemen's Club. And she's trying get AHEAD...
