A California woman is currently being held by authorities for the death of Ashley Tropez after the ‘Beyond Scared Straight’ star’s body was found inside an abandoned home.
The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department issued a statement on Saturday that said, “Officers were called about a dead body inside an abandoned house in the 16600 block of Victor Street at 11:10 a.m. local time on Friday. When officers arrived at the abandoned home, they found the 24-year-old Tropez inside the home, suffering from traumatic injuries.”
After investigating, the sheriff’s homicide unit determined that Tropez and a woman named Alexis Call, 24, were familiar to each other and may have been squatting at the residence.
Call was named a suspect and arrested. She is in the High Desert Detention Center for PC 187(A)-Murder, police said in a recent statement.
Call appeared in court on Tuesday and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday for an unrelated possession of a stolen vehicle charge.
Tropez appeared on the controversial reality series in 2011, which aimed to help troubled youth turn their lives around with heavy-hitting programs. The Emmy-nominated show went off the air after 9 seasons.
