A man arrested in 2018 on suspicion of beating a woman to death with a tree branch in Costa Mesa’s Talbert Regional Park pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 16 years in prison, records indicate.
Daniel Correa, 27, was taken into custody Feb. 28, 2018, after he called the Costa Mesa Police Department to report having found the body of a deceased woman in some brush at a nature preserve area of the park, located at 1299 Victoria St.
The victim was later identified by the Orange County coroner’s office as 29-year-old Ashley Boulay, whom officials believed had lived in Massachusetts at one point. Boulay’s body displayed signs of blunt force trauma, the Daily Pilot reported in 2018.

Costa Mesa police have reported an attempt to interview an agitated suspect about a possible incident of elder abuse Monday evening resulted in an officer-involved shooting, after the suspect allegedly brandished and threw a large pipe wrench at one officer.
Police responded Monday shortly before 6:45 p.m. to a location on the 1900 block of Newport Boulevard, regarding ongoing elder abuse and a possible restraining order violation involving Theodore Liko Wilson, 26, of Costa Mesa, according to a news release issued Tuesday.
Officers had been called earlier that day to the location shared by Wilson and his 69-year-old grandmother to address a claim he had physically assaulted and falsely imprisoned her, according to the report.
