Angelita Mendez was 22 when she was killed on April 9, 2016, while riding in a car with her boyfriend and their two children near Abby Avenue and Highway 180 in Fresno, California. Shots were fired at the vehicle; Angelita was struck in the head. Her boyfriend drove in an effort to get help but she died before police arrived. Her young children witnessed the shooting.

The investigation identified 27-year-old Abel Echartea as a suspect and he was taken into custody after several months. Reports note Echartea had a history of violent behavior and was under supervision or parole at the time. Prosecutors initially did not file murder charges in Angelita’s death.
