Virginia State Police issued an Amber Alert for the 16-year-old three weeks ago after she was reportedly abducted by a 21-year-old man police said claimed to be a member of the MS-13 gang.
Police said the abduction happened at a party in the 14800 block of Danville Road when Roberto Medrano-Segovia got in a verbal altercation with the victim, WDCW reported.
Other people at the party intervened, but Medrano-Segovia is accused of displaying a knife toward witnesses, according to police.
Medrano-Segovia reportedly left the party and came back with “associates,” then got in another argument with the victim.
Witnesses told police they watched as Medrano-Segovia forced Cruz into a car, “seemingly against her will.”
