DJ Seasunz was a fan favorite of the teen-aged crowd and often promoted "all ages" parties. It was at one of those parties that the 30-year-old met then 16-year-old Jaclyn Torrealba in 2007.
Fast forward two years later and after a fight ended in Torrealba's murder on Sunday and now the victim's family is saying they tried their best to keep DJ Seasunz away from their young daughter.
"He was a master manipulator," said the attorney for Vilma Castro, Torrealba's mother. "The family knew he was dangerous for her...somehow he found a way to worm his way back into her life."
A press conference in front of the family's Miami home Tuesday detailed the family's efforts to stop Juan Carlos Portieles, AKA DJ Seasunz, from influencing Torrealba. They categorized the underaged love affair an "obsession" on Portieles' part.
Portieles is being held in a Miami-Dade jail without bond on second-degree murder charges for Torrealba's death. Portieles drove his victim's lifeless body to the Miami-Dade police station Sunday and turned himself in.
Police said the couple got into an altercation that got out of hand and finally ended when Portieles choked Torrealba to death.
Since details of the murder have been released, some had pointed to the huge age differential between the two involved and questioned why Torrealba's parents never intervened.
Torrealba, a freshman at FIU, met the popular DJ at an "all ages" party, family members said.
According to a 17-year-old who worked with him selling tickets to a music festival, Portieles had a thing for young girls, CBSNews.com reported.
Portieles would go to "all the clubs that 15- to 25-year-olds go to" and that "all he had was younger girls," the girl, who did not want to be named, said.
