According to police, she went for a walk with a neighbor on Tuesday evening but when he returned a few hours later, she wasn’t with him.

The man she was with, who is said to be a neighborhood friend, was detained for questioning.

SAPD released an image of a different “person of interest” on their Facebook page, but it was later taken down.

Nobody has been charged in the death of Hernandez, and now her family has planned a march for justice on Sunday night at the same bridge on Dell Oak Drive.

The investigation into the death remains ongoing.
