Police Release Suspect in Murder, Arrest Another Man

Investigators no longer believe a man arrested Monday was involved.

Police have released a man who was suspected of murdering a woman found dead inside a home in Burbank and arrested another suspect on Wednesday.

Investigators believe Brian Lowe, who was arrested Monday on suspicion of a murder that occurred on Sunday, was not involved in the murder, according to the Burbank Police Department.

On Wednesday, police arrested Timothy Aguilar Andrade, 28, of Hesperia for allegedly stabbing the victim to death multiple times, according to the Burbank Police Department. 

Police said they arrested Lowe because of conflicting statements he gave to authorities, but then released him.

Police said Andrade provided significant information that confirmed he acted alone in the alleged murder. Police also said Andrade allegedly provided information that led them to the knife used in the alleged murder.

The woman was identified by authorities as Brandi Carrasco, 35.

Authorities also said they did not know why the woman, who did not live in Burbank, was at the home at the time of the murder.
