Police Seek Corona Man Suspected Of Abducting, Beating Girlfriend

CORONA (CBSLA.com) — Police are seeking the public's help in locating a Corona man suspected of abducting and severely beating his girlfriend during a domestic dispute.

A felony arrest warrant has been issued for 29-year-old Miguel Aguiniga, who Corona police allege attacked his girlfriend on May 6. The suspect allegedly kicked and pummeled the victim, striking her with different objects and refusing to let her leave her home for an unspecified period of time.

The victim "showed signs of torture to her lower extremities," according to Detective Martin Vega.

Aguiniga's whereabouts remain unknown. He reportedly fled in the victim's silver Honda Civic, which was found in a CVS Pharmacy parking lot in Riverside May 27.

"The victim and her family feel that Aguiniga may try to find her and harm her again," said Detective Vega.

Aguiniga is described as a Hispanic male, 5-foot-7 inches tall and 210 pounds, with close-cropped brown hair and brown eyes and a slight mustache.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Aguiniga is asked to call Corona police detectives at (951) 817-5796.
