Victoria Barrios, 18, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Santa Ana just after midnight on August 30, 2019. She was walking with two friends in the 500 block of East Pine Street near Oak Street when a red or maroon SUV pulled up and a rear-seat passenger leaned out and opened fire. Victoria was struck and pronounced dead at the scene; a 17-year-old boy with her was also shot and hospitalized.

Police say Victoria had no gang affiliations and was likely an unintended target in what investigators describe as a gang-related shooting. Surveillance footage identifying the vehicle and suspects was released, and the Santa Ana Police Department has offered a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest. The family has used billboards and other efforts to keep the case in the public eye.

Anyone with information that could help identify the shooters or the SUV is asked to contact the Santa Ana Police Department.
