RawNews1st – 22-Year-Old Colorado Woman Sexually Assaulted And Hit With Hatchet 22 times.

A 22-year-old woman was murdered Friday night at NOCO Nutrition at the end of her shift.

The victim, identified by her family as Angie Vega, was allegedly sexually assaulted and killed.

Her mother called someone from NOCO Nutrition after Vega did not return home from work around 7:35 p.m.

Someone from the business accessed the security cameras and noticed that the place was a mess. After that, he drove to the business and noticed a lot of blood, a hatchet and what looked like drag marks, police said.

Vega’s car was missing from the parking lot, and she was not found inside the business.

Police said the suspect went into Noco Nutrition at 5:36 p.m. while other people were inside. He was wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants while carrying a black backpack.

Court documents show that the suspect went to a table and stayed there for nearly an hour, while he shuffled papers in and out of his backpack and wrote on them.

Around 6:36 p.m., after all the other people had left the business, police said surveillance video shows the suspect walk behind the counter and attack Vega from behind.

The video shows him hitting her with a hatchet in the head seven times until she fell to the floor, according to police. Then, police say, she fell to the floor and he hit her at least 15 more times with the hatchet.

After that, documents say the suspect walked outside and moved Vega’s vehicle closer to the front of the business with a door open.

A few minutes later, police said he appeared to sexually assault Vega.

He then ripped the cover off a nearby couch and wrapped it around her before dragging her out the front door, across the sidewalk and into the backseat of her car.

She was later found dead in her car. The suspect has been identified as Marcos Vallejos, 24.
