The suspects arrested for the murder of Lizette Cuesta are identified as:

Both suspects are in custody at Santa Rita Jail.

Original release:

UNINCORPORATED LIVERMORE- On Monday, February 12, 2018, about 2:00 am, CHP-Dublin Officers responded to a 911 report of an injured woman on the ground near mile marker 8.49 on Tesla Road in rural Livermore.

CHP Officers and Alameda County Fire Paramedics responded to the scene and discovered a 19 year old woman suffering from life threatening stab wounds and other injuries. A decision was made to life flight the victim to Eden Hospital Trauma in Castro Valley where she was pronounced dead about 4:30 am. Prior to her death, she was able to provide us with pertinent information about her attackers.

ACSO Detectives and Crime Lab Scientists responded to the Tesla Scene where they continue to process the area for evidence.

Further investigation of this case brought us to Modesto, CA where a male and female suspect, both age 19, were arrested. They will be transported back to Alameda County. That scene in Modesto is being processed by ACSO With assistance from the Stanislaus County Sheriff.

At this time, we are not identifying the victim or suspects as the investigation is still very active and on going.
