Estrella Soleil Luna, 24, of Victorville, California, was found dead inside a burning car in La Habra Heights on July 5, 2021. Firefighters extinguished the blaze near North Cypress Street and Nabal Road and discovered Luna’s body; the coroner determined she died from multiple gunshot wounds and ruled the death a homicide. Investigators say Luna had been killed elsewhere and her body placed in a Nissan Sentra that was driven to La Habra Heights and set on fire, apparently to destroy evidence. A homeowner who noticed the fire partially extinguished it before it spread; the flames did not fully consume the vehicle.

Detectives report Luna was last seen alive in the Los Angeles area earlier that day and have been tracing her movements to reconstruct the events leading to her death. The Nissan Sentra was not reported stolen, and the woman listed as owner on the vehicle paperwork is not considered a suspect. No arrests have been announced and motive remains unclear. If anyone has information about Luna’s movements or the car that night, contact the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau.
