Manuela Mona Rodriguez was an 18-year-old mother from Long Beach who was shot on September 27, 2021, after an altercation near Millikan High School. A Long Beach Unified School District safety officer, Eddie Gonzalez, responded to the incident and, as Rodriguez was leaving in a car, fired into the vehicle and struck her in the head. She was taken to a hospital and died days later.

The shooting was recorded in part on a cell phone video that shows the car moving away from Gonzalez before he fired. Gonzalez was fired from his position, arrested and charged with murder; he pleaded not guilty in December 2021 and his first trial ended in a mistrial when the jury deadlocked. Rodriguez’s family filed a civil suit against the school district alleging wrongful death, excessive force, negligence and civil rights violations, and later reached a substantial settlement with the district.

Does anyone have information about the events near Millikan High School that night or knew Manuela Rodriguez?
