Yorba Linda – A young girl who was found stabbed to death in Yorba Linda has been identified as a 17-year-old runaway from Gardena. According to authorities, Aubreyanna Sade Parks had been reported as a runaway and was more than 30 miles away from home when she was assaulted. Parks received multiple stab wounds which were discovered when her body was found bleeding on a curb by bicyclists in the area.
Larry Soo Shin, 35, is being held in county jail on suspicion of murder, but officials with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department would not release details of what investigators believe may have led to Parks’ stabbing death in an upscale neighborhood. According to arrest records, he is being held in Theo Lacy Jail in lieu of $1 million bail. Shin had a scheduled court appearance on Thursday, Feb. 6.
Parks had previously been arrested on charges of prostitution and officials are trying to determine what the relationship between Parks and Shin was. Neither Parks nor Shin lived in the area, officials said.
According to public records, Shin is a resident of Yorba Linda but lives more than a mile away from the crime scene. Shin’s residence was searched by law enforcement officials on Tuesday evening, but nothing official has been released.
