The second body found at the home of former Washington state school resource officer Elias Huizar was that of his 17-year-old girlfriend and mother of his 1-year-old son whom he was accused of kidnapping, West Richland Police Department confirmed at a news conference Wednesday. Huizar died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Tuesday after leading Oregon police on a vehicle chase. Angelica Santos, his girlfriend, was also the victim of child rape in the third degree, police chief Thomas Grego said. Santos’ cause of death is still undetermined pending an autopsy, officials said Wednesday. A motive for Santos’ homicide is unclear, according to Benton County Prosecutor Eric Eisinger. However, a protection order on behalf of Santos had been filed against Huizar, he added. Jail records show Huizar was also charged with second-degree rape in February. This charge is separate from the third-degree rape charge involving Santos, Eisinger added.
