Claudia Lopez, 37, was fatally shot at a Compton residence on West 154th Street around 12:40 a.m. on January 1, 2020. The coroner’s report listed multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death and ruled the death a homicide. Her father was critically wounded in the same attack.

Claudia’s common-law husband and the father of her children, Eduardo Ubiarco, was arrested shortly after the shooting and charged with first-degree murder for Claudia’s death and attempted murder for the attack on her father. The couple’s two children were in the home during the shooting but were not physically harmed; they are being cared for by family members. Colleagues at the Warner Center Pet Clinic in Woodland Hills remembered Claudia as a devoted receptionist and a steady presence on the team. A memorial fund was established to support her children.

Was anyone in the Compton area that night able to provide information about what happened on West 154th Street?
