On Saturday morning, a shocking incident in California led to the arrest of a man accused of killing a female relative, decapitating her. Santa Rosa Police announced the arrest of 24-year-old Luis Aroyo-Lopez in San Francisco, less than two days after they received a distressing call regarding a decapitated woman at the 2500 block of Pomo Trail around 3:40 pm.

In a subsequently updated Facebook post, authorities revealed that Aroyo-Lopez had become the prime suspect following an initial investigation by the SRPD Violent Crimes Investigations team.

Details about his arrest were not provided at that time, and the SRPD Violent Crimes Investigations team continued to actively investigate the case, with plans to share additional information later. The post expressed gratitude for the public's tips and support.

Officers from the San Francisco Police spotted an individual who matched the description of the homicide suspect from Santa Rosa at the Transbay Terminal at 7:53 a.m. on Saturday. Additionally, it was revealed that Aroyo-Lopez had recently been released from state prison and was on Postrelease Community Supervision. He had previously been incarcerated for assault with a deadly weapon and weapons possession charges, unrelated to the victim in this tragic incident.

The Sonoma County Alliance Community Engagement and Safety Rewards Fund offered a $2,500 reward for information that could lead to the arrest of suspects in the case.

According to records from the Sonoma County Sheriff's jail inmate search, Aroyo-Lopez was booked at the Main Adult Detention Facility shortly after 11 pm on Saturday. He faced two charges: one count of "PC 3455 Felony," seemingly related to his postrelease supervision, and one count of "PC 187 Felony," or murder, as per legislative information in the state of California.
