In a shocking turn of events in El Cajon, authorities uncovered the body of 51-year-old Jamison Webster in the trunk of her car, leading to the arrest of her son, Richard Leyva, aged 24. The situation escalated after Webster's other son reported her missing, prompting police to investigate at a local Motel 6. Concern grew as he discovered her lifeless body, and the incident spiraled into chaos. Leyva, in a desperate attempt to flee, jumped into his mother’s black Hyundai Sonata, hitting his brother with the vehicle during his escape.
