A man accused of killing his girlfriend in a Hotel Circle motel room got a new attorney on Friday, and his preliminary hearing was delayed until Oct. 15.
Victor A. Cruz, 20, waived his right to have a speedy hearing concerning the death of Vivian Avila, 24, who was found dead early on Jan. 17 in a hotel in the 2400 block of Hotel Circle North by San Diego police.
Officers took Cruz into custody after talking to another man in the same motel room.
Police said the woman had “obvious trauma-related injuries,” according to a release. She was declared dead after officers and medics went into the room. The death is believed to be the result of domestic violence.
