Delores Yvon Baez Meraz, 57, was found inside a vehicle on the shoulder of westbound Interstate 10 about two miles west of Eagle Mountain Road near Desert Center, California, on July 24, 2016. She was airlifted to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where she was pronounced dead. Investigators later determined she had been fatally shot.

A family friend, 19-year-old Kyler Jeffrey Arnold of Chandler, Arizona, was with Baez Meraz at the time. Court records say Arnold was holding a gun that discharged, killing her; a Riverside County Superior Court judge described the shooting as negligent, saying Arnold was not paying attention when the gun went off. Arnold faced multiple charges, including involuntary manslaughter, and pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and related counts. He was enrolled in the Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners program, completed it, and was released on probation; court filings noted his troubled upbringing and substance abuse history.

What information do readers have about Baez Meraz’s final hours on Interstate 10 or about witnesses who may have seen the vehicle that day?
