Vazquez's remains were found in a remote area of Moreno Valley after she was kidnapped from a park in Whittier on Aug. 20, police said.
Her parents are still shocked by the senseless murder.
"We're looking forward to getting justice for my daughter, and we're not going to stop until justice is done because no one deserved this," said Eduardo Vazquez, the victim's father.
Gabriel Esparza, 20, is accused of shooting Vazquez while she and her boyfriend were at Whittier's Penn Park. Police say Esparza then kidnapped her.
Vazquez's body was found a day later in a field in Moreno Valley.
Esparza has pleaded not guilty to all seven counts filed against him, including murder, kidnapping and attempted rape. He is being held without bail.
