On December 22, 2020, 46-year-old Yvonne Acosta was shot and killed inside a Kohl’s department store in Whittier, California. The shooter was her estranged husband, Enrique Acosta; the couple had been separated for about a year. Their 8-year-old son was present in the store when the altercation escalated and Enrique shot Yvonne multiple times.

Surveillance video captured the incident. Enrique fled the scene and collided with Yvonne’s parked car while attempting to escape; he was arrested the following day in the Barstow area and charged with multiple offenses, including first-degree murder, child abuse, violation of a court order, possession of a firearm by a felon, and hit-and-run resulting in property damage. Enrique had a documented history of domestic violence involving Yvonne, including four prior convictions and a recent no-contest plea to spousal battery, and protective orders had been issued in those cases.

Does anyone have information about Yvonne, the family, or what led up to that day?
