Lesly Carina Ceballos-Santos, BHS 2003?

On March 26, 2020 the Lord called one of his daughters Lesly Carina Santos (Ceballos), home. Lesly was born August 22, 1984 in Guatemala City, Guatemala. In 2001 her parents brought her to live in Burbank when she was 16 years old. On September 2019 Lesly was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer. She fought as hard as she could to win the battle but after months of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and countless E.R. visits, her body just kept getting weaker and weaker. The tumors kept growing and spreading throughout her body, taking over all her vital organs until her body finally gave out.

Lesly, leaves behind her husband Edgar Ceballos and her 3 beautiful daughters: Analie (15), Sarah (4), and Andrea(1.5).

Lesly was a very intellectual woman who dreamed and worked hard for many years towards her bachelors degree. Lesly was enrolled at Pennsylvania State at time of her diagnoses and was due to graduate this spring with a degree on Computer and Science. Her goal was to work for Bank of America as a Cyber Security Specialist.

Lesly was a long time and loyal employee for Bank of America. She worked for them 16 years and despite of all the changes the bank had, she always adapted and embrace the changing jobs, pay cuts, relocation. She enjoyed working for the bank and learning all the ins and outs of her multiple job opportunities.

About six years ago she nearly died during a car accident where she was hospitalized and had to have emergency surgery to save her life. She has been married with Edgar Ceballos for 8 years now, who loves her dearly and supporters her in her life and career decisions. She has been working for the same employer for the past 15 years now. Prior to her diagnoses she was working full time, going to school full time to earn her bachelor’s degree online from Pennsylvania State University, while still being a great wife and mother.

She was diagnosed with Diffused Signet Ring Adenocarcionoma, a very aggressive cancer, at the young age of 35 (just turned 35 last year). After two weeks of testing and going back and forth with doctors they told her she has about 18 months left to live. Being the fighter that she is she decided to get a second doctor’s opinion. So on September 19, 2019 the other doctor confirmed the worst!!! She has stage 4 cancer, which means it has spread to her other organs. The Doctor told her there is no time to waste and needs to start chemotherapy as now. She started an aggressive chemotherapy followed soon by a surgery that will help to remove the tumor found in her stomach wall. If this tumor is NOT remove it will block the passage of food, which inevitable would lead to her death.

Lesly was a caring and loving person who enjoyed dancing Salsa and Cumbias. She enjoyed watching movies, and eating at one of her favorite restaurants, El Sauz taco shop in Glendale, CA. Her favorite thing to get from there was Mexican tortas. She loved roses and tulips. She would like you to remember her as a cheerful and loyal friend, who always had your best interest in mind. Rest In Peace, our beloved friend. Lesly Ceballos Aug 22, 1984 - Mar 26, 2020

L.A. Man a Suspect in 4 Slayings in 2 Countries

TIMES STAFF WRITER

A man who allegedly shot and killed two Tijuana police officers last weekend is suspected of carrying out a double slaying two months ago at a North Hollywood recording studio, Los Angeles police detectives said Wednesday.

The bodies of Devin Lesser, 38, and Rosaura Amy Bone, 18, were found Aug. 7 in a warehouse near makeshift living quarters rented by Lesser in the 5500 block of Riverton Avenue.

Detectives initially had few clues, no suspects and no motive. But soon their attention turned to L.A. resident Juan Frank Munoz, 24, who had dated Bone and threatened violence against her, Det. Mike Coffey said.

Munoz didn’t wait for police to catch up with him, allegedly telling relatives “he had done something bad and needed to get out of town,” Coffey said. Lying low, he settled into a Tijuana motel, Coffey said.

The San Diego County district attorney’s office, often the liaison between Tijuana and California authorities, called North Hollywood homicide detectives Monday, saying Munoz had been arrested in the slayings of two Mexican police officers.

According to Coffey, police had gone to the motel after Munoz got into a loud argument with a girlfriend and allegedly pulled a gun on a security guard who went to Munoz’s room to investigate.

Two officers responding to a call for help were allegedly shot at point-blank range by Munoz, before he took their service weapons and fired on them again, authorities said.

Munoz was captured after a brief pursuit when he fled in the police patrol car. He will be tried in Mexico for the killing of the police officers and faces a maximum of 60 years to life in prison if convicted.
