Anna Meza, 31, was shot and killed on November 12, 2017, while walking on North Dillon Avenue in San Jacinto, California. The attack happened in broad daylight; Meza was with a companion identified in court records as J.M. Emergency responders performed life-saving measures, but Meza was pronounced dead at the scene and J.M. was unharmed.

Court records name Daniel Acevedo Cortez as the person who approached the pair and opened fire with a .380-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Detectives from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit led the investigation, which continued for several years as Meza’s family kept her memory alive through memorials and public appeals. Her sister, Alishia Falcon, was active in urging the community and maintaining contact with investigators.

What details about that day or about Anna’s routines might help fill gaps in the timeline of the shooting?
