On September 7, 2020, Samantha Sourignasak, 44, was one of seven people shot at an illegal marijuana grow operation on Highway 371 in Aguanga, California. Deputies responding to reports of an assault around 12:33 a.m. found six people dead at the remote property and Sourignasak alive; she later died at a hospital. The victims, all of Laotian descent, were among a larger group living and working at the site, which yielded over 1,000 pounds of processed marijuana and several hundred plants.

Investigators described the incident as a targeted attack and a home invasion robbery, though nothing was reported stolen. Early leads went cold, but in December 2024 detectives identified a mid-size dark-colored SUV believed to have been involved. No arrests have been announced and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department continues to seek information.

If anyone knew Samantha, the other victims, or saw suspicious vehicles near Highway 371 around September 7, 2020, please share what you know.
