Police allege Trejo confessed to them in an interview after Breana’s body was found in a dumpster near her home last Sunday morning. During his confession, he allegedly said he met with Breana on Saturday night and stabbed her in the heart with a knife from home, and that he’d chosen the knife because he thought it would kill her quickly, the affidavit alleges.
When Breana’s body was found, a black plastic garbage bag had been placed over her head and upper torso. The affidavit alleges Trejo confessed he’d put the plastic bag on Breana and that “he had brought [the bag] from home for that purpose.”
