Upon my arrival, I met with Victim Yanira Torres in HMH emergency room #48. Torres appeared to be upset and appeared to have been crying. Torres told me the following information in summary:

Torres and Suspect Rodriguez have been in a dating relationship for approximately one year and have live with one another in the past. They do not have any children with one another.

On 05-01-17 at approximately 0300 hours Torres and Rodriguez were staying at the Wonder Inn located at 2855 E. Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. While inside of the room, Rodriguez asked Torres to rent him a vehicle. Torres told Rodriguez she couldn’t afford to rent a vehicle.
