Delila Vasquez was a 20-year-old Hispanic woman killed in the Bronx on the evening of March 17, 2021. Family members said she had plans to move out of her neighborhood and had spoken with her mother just two hours before the shooting, with no sense anything was wrong. She was inside a vacant third-floor apartment on Hull Avenue in Norwood, a location police said was known as a hangout for gang members, when she was shot in the head around 10:10 p.m.

Witnesses reported several people believed to be members of the Bloods leaving the building after the shooting and a gun being thrown from a window. Officers found Delila alive and took her to Jacobi Medical Center, where she died from her injury. Investigators said Delila was not affiliated with a gang but was known to associate with them.

Two people were arrested in connection with the case: 20-year-old Precious Williams and an unnamed 16-year-old male; they faced charges including criminal possession of a weapon and a controlled substance, and Precious Williams later pleaded guilty to and was convicted of second-degree manslaughter. Did anyone in the Norwood area know Delila or see activity at that Hull Avenue building on the night of March 17, 2021?
