Shocking Tragedy: California Mom Found Dead After Son’s Gruesome Acts Unravel in Police Chase
In a heart-wrenching incident out of El Cajon, California, 51-year-old Jamison Webster was tragically discovered dead in her car’s trunk, leading to serious criminal charges against her son Richard Leyva. The grim saga unfolded when Webster went to visit Leyva at a Motel 6. When she didn’t return, her other son, Xavier, went to check on them—and what he found was nothing short of horrific. He stumbled upon his mother’s lifeless body tucked away in the trunk of a black Hyundai Sonata. Talk about a nightmare family reunion!
After the discovery, a confrontation erupted between the two brothers, culminating in Leyva’s reckless getaway, during which he allegedly struck Xavier. Thankfully, Xavier managed to alert the police, which set in motion a chaotic chase through the streets. Leyva’s high-speed dash ended in a collision with two other vehicles, but—miraculously—all drivers emerged unscathed. The pursuit concluded with police subduing Leyva with a Taser, leading to his arrest for homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, and evading law enforcement. As if the events couldn’t get any more tragic, Leyva was admitted to a mental health facility earlier that day but quickly left before this harrowing incident occurred.
Deputy District Attorney Yasmin Bigdeli revealed that motel surveillance cameras captured distressing footage, including Leyva dragging his mother’s “lifeless body” and putting it in the trunk. Current investigations suggest that Webster may have succumbed to strangulation, although the official cause of death is still under wraps.
Supporters have rallied behind Webster’s family through a GoFundMe campaign, which paints a picture of her as a loving mother whose life revolved around her children. They described her as “a kind and loving soul” with a warmth that touched everyone around her. As this heartbreaking tale continues to unfold, Webster’s tragic end is a grim reminder of the peaks and valleys of familial relationships, especially when mental health issues come into play.
