Maya’s 4-year-old son had his face and most of his body blurred out in the photo but his feet were left in, showing how close he was to the weapons.
The photographs were used by San Diego police back in May to convince Judge Katherine Bacal to issue a temporary gun violence restraining order against Maya’s husband.
Due to the order, Larry Millete’s gun collection was seized by officers on May 7.
Millete was arrested by Chula Vista Police on October 19 for his wife’s murder, over nine months after Maya’s disappearance on January 7, 2021.
Chula Vista Police Department Chief Roxana Kennedy said that Millete was “responsible” for Maya’s murder.
Authorities believe Maya was killed on either January 7 or January 8. Her body is still missing as is the .40 caliber gun belonging to Millete.
