A woman burned beyond recognition in a Granada Hills homeless encampment last month has been identified as the wife of a man accused of stabbing her to death.

Sandra Velasco, 52, was pronounced dead in the 11400 block of Balboa Boulevard at 11:11 a.m. on June 20, according to Los Angeles County coroner’s spokesman Ed Winter.

Her husband, Hector Veloz, 46, was charged with murdering her nine days later by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office after she went missing.

Velasco was last seen June 18 in the 7900 block of Willis Avenue, near Raymer Street, in Panorama City after meeting up with Veloz at a storage facility.

The husband was arrested on June 27 and is being held at the Men’s Central Jail in Los Angeles without bail, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s inmate records locator website.

He is accused of stabbing her to death, according to authorities.

Veloz has been charged with one count of murder with the special circumstance allegation of murder while lying in wait, the district attorney’s office said. He is also facing a special allegation of using a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife.

Los Angeles firefighters found Velasco’s badly burned body near a wall separating the homeless encampment from a gas station.

“It’s safe to say the woman suffered significant burns,” said Capt. Erik Scott, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department, at the time.

Veloz faces the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted and

his arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 2 in San Fernando, according to prosecutors.

In a brief telephone interview after the murder case against Veloz was filed, the woman’s daughter said she appreciated the LAPD’s hard work.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division is leading the investigation.
