Perla Azucena Banuelos-Allende was 5 when a stray bullet struck her through the wall of her bedroom in the early hours of Saturday, February 3, 2018, on Lester Road in Dillon County, South Carolina. She was asleep at home with other young children when the round hit her side and stomach; paramedics briefly revived her at the scene but she died after being taken to McLeod Medical Center. The Dillon County coroner ruled her death a homicide.

Investigators say gunfire broke out after a neighborhood party; multiple people reportedly fired, and three people were shot that night. Authorities later charged 20-year-old Marquis Antoine McRae with murder in Perla’s death and charged 24-year-old Lakeisha Shanae Martin with attempted murder for shooting an adult at the same incident, though officials emphasized Martin was not charged in Perla’s death and said work remained to determine who fired which shots.

Does anyone in Dillon or Siler City remember the party that night or have information about who was shooting on Lester Road?
