Margarita Contreras, 73, was found dead from apparent gunshot wounds at her home in Yuba City, California on June 14, 2019. Police responding to a shooting report just before noon discovered her and a second fatality, Jose Manuel Ramirez, at the scene.

Investigators say the victims and a suspect, 19-year-old Diego Martinez, were acquaintances. Martinez was arrested and charged with the murders. His mother, 36-year-old Christy Madl, was arrested on an accessory to murder charge for allegedly helping her son flee; both were extradited to Sutter County from Los Angeles County after being taken into custody by the California Highway Patrol. A handgun believed to be connected to the killings was recovered and investigators are following leads in the Los Angeles area. The motive has not been determined.

Was Margarita known in the neighborhood or to anyone who might have information about her movements or connections to the suspects?
