Wendi Miller, 48, was found dead on April 21, 2019, in Newport Beach, California. Miller, the CEO of the nonprofit Wings For Justice who advocated for children and families, was discovered alongside 38-year-old former minor league hockey player Darren Partch in Partch’s Newport Beach apartment. The Newport Beach Police Department ruled both deaths homicides and described the incident as isolated with no immediate threat to the public.

Investigators reported both victims had been shot at close range and found in a pool of blood in Partch’s bedroom; the scene suggested they were intimate when the killer entered. Forensic teams recovered four .38-caliber bullets but no weapon, and neither victim had defensive wounds. Partch’s roommate found the bodies after returning from an overnight trip and called 911.

The deaths left families and the community reeling, particularly because of Miller’s advocacy work on behalf of victims. Does anyone have information about Miller’s activities in Newport Beach the night of April 21, 2019, or about connections between the victims and the area?
