Alejandra Martinez, 36, was fatally shot on December 4, 2020, near Magnolia Avenue and West Anaheim Street in Long Beach while buying food from a taco truck. She had no gang affiliations and was an unintended victim when a gang-related dispute at the truck escalated into gunfire. Martinez was struck by a bullet and later died at a local hospital.

Authorities say the confrontation began when one suspect, Tyquan Benson, verbally confronted a group at the taco truck and then opened fire. The investigation produced surveillance footage, witness testimony and jail recordings that prosecutors presented at trial. Jurors convicted Benson of first-degree murder, attempted murder, shooting from a motor vehicle, assault with a semiautomatic firearm and being a prohibited possessor in possession of a gun. Jacquise Wright was also convicted of first-degree murder; prosecutors said Wright and Benson had planned the ambush to target rival gang members and Wright received a sentence of 28 years to life.

Does anyone have information about Martinez’s last movements that could add detail to the timeline or help answer remaining questions?
