Police arrested three suspects said to be involved in the death of a 19-year-old woman on Halloween night, the Fairfield Police Department announced on Monday.

Leilani Beauchamp was last seen leaving a Halloween party with two Air Force members early Saturday morning in Sacramento, police said. The two men live on Cascade Lane in Fairfield.

Investigators from the Fairfield Police Department and Travis Air Force Base's Office of Special Investigation team determined that Beauchamp was killed at their residence. The victim's remains were found in Monterey County, police said.

As a result of the investigation, police arrested 21-year-old Jessica Quintanilla on suspicion of murder, 20-year-old Juan Parra-Peralta on suspicion of accessory to murder and 27-year-old Marco Quintanilla on suspicion of accessory to murder and a violation of his parole for a previous attempted murder charge.

"We would like to thank Travis Air Force Base and the Monterey County Sheriff's Department for their assistance in this case," the Fairfield Police Department wrote in a statement. "While nothing positive will come from this horrible crime, the partnership and teamwork exhibited resulted in the timely closure of this investigation."

Police urge anyone with more information on the case to contact the Fairfield Police Department's Investigation Bureau at (707) 428-7600.
