Emma G. Rodriguez-Estrada, a 23-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on March 16, 2017, in the Green Meadows neighborhood of Los Angeles. The coroner’s records place the shooting shortly before 7:30 p.m. She had left her apartment complex to meet her estranged husband, Andres Zambrano; an argument began while Zambrano was sitting in his sedan, escalated when he exited the vehicle and chased her, and ended when Rodriguez-Estrada was shot. She was taken to a nearby hospital and died of her injuries.

Andres Zambrano, 26, became the primary suspect and fled the scene after the shooting. Reports state he later left the country and was pursued by law enforcement. Bail was set at $2,050,000 and he was booked on an outstanding murder warrant after being returned to Los Angeles.

The case underscores the lethal consequences of domestic violence and ongoing questions about how and where the confrontation began. Anyone with information about Emma, the moments before the shooting, or her movements that evening is urged to come forward.
