The family of Angelica Bravo, a 28-year-old Sacramento County mother, along with dozens of community members, held her funeral at St. Mary’s Cemetery on Tuesday after she was found dead in the home of her ex-boyfriend Camron Lee on July 8. The cause of death is still undetermined, and although Lee is not being considered a suspect by Sacramento police, he is believed to have kidnapped Bravo’s two young children, Athena, 4, and Mateo, 2, who have remained missing for more than five weeks. Lee has also not been found since Bravo’s death.

Ongoing search: According to police, Camron Lee’s gray 2023 Honda Passport, last seen entering Mexico on July 10, was found unoccupied in Ensenada on July 19. Authorities believe Athena and Mateo may have been dropped off in Southern California, possibly in areas such as Fresno, Los Angeles or San Diego, but there is no news on their whereabouts. “There is no news at this time. We continue to actively work with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to find the children,” an SPD spokesperson said Tuesday.

The funeral: At the funeral, loved ones paid tribute to Bravo, describing her as “brave, loving and fearless.” “It’s just been a nightmare. This month has been like a nightmare that I can’t wake up from,” Bravo’s mother, Dawn Bodea, told KCRA 3. Her 18-year-old brother, Gilbert, wears a photo of her around his neck and has a tattoo of her on his leg as he copes with her loss. “This is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life,” he said. “I really want her to be remembered as the amazing person she was and the kind-hearted soul she is and that she loved everybody.
