Marie De La Cruz Chavarria, a 29-year-old Hispanic mother of two, was shot to death on Brighton Park Boulevard in Summerville, South Carolina, in the early morning hours of July 20, 2021. She was driving to work before sunrise when her husband, Salin Mojica-Hernandez, followed her from their home and forced her to pull over. He fired at her while she was still inside the car; she fled to a nearby grassy median and was shot five more times, collapsing just feet from her children’s car seats and strollers that remained in the vehicle. A passing driver found her with the car’s lights still on and called for help.

Investigators say surveillance from the couple’s home captured him pursuing her as she left and showed him returning about 15 minutes later wearing boxer shorts and carrying a box. Cell phone records and business surveillance placed him near the scene, and authorities noted he had inquired about buying 9mm ammunition weeks earlier. Police records also show officers had been called to the couple’s residence three times the prior year for domestic incidents; Marie De La Cruz Chavarria had declined to press charges. In the period before her death she had been seeking a divorce attorney to help remove Mojica-Hernandez from their shared home.

Does anyone have information about Marie’s last known movements that morning or anyone who might have seen the vehicles involved?
