Angela Struzas, 32, was found dead at her Indio home on Rancho Los Coyotes Drive on January 14, 2020. Officers arrived about 1:40 p.m. after a resident called police; investigators reported she had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and described the scene as one of the bloodiest they had encountered.

The investigation led to the arrest of Johnny Jose Rodriguez, 26, who was taken into custody a day after the killing. He had several prior felony convictions, was on probation, and during police interviews admitted to shooting Struzas after being handed a gun by Fred Grizzly Garcia, who reportedly told him to get her. The firearm used was never recovered. Garcia, who lived with Struzas, was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to murder, witness intimidation, and being a felon in possession of ammunition; his case was returned to the Indio police for further investigation and he was not immediately charged with murder.

Rodriguez faced a possible sentence of 50 years to life if convicted; bail was set at $1 million. The motive for the killing remains unclear. Did anyone in the Indio area know Angela or either of the men and have information that could help clarify what led to this violence?
