Vanessa Renee Lopez, 28, was shot and killed in Pomona, California, on July 19, 2015. The shooting happened about 2:50 a.m. in the 1300 block of Caprino Way. Pomona police found Lopez and her boyfriend, Manuel Flores Jr., in the backseat of a car parked in the driveway; both had gunshot wounds. Lopez was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:06 a.m. Flores was critically injured and taken to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center.

Investigators determined the shooting was not a drive-by and was not related to gang activity. Witnesses said a single suspect approached the car on foot and then fled southbound; the only description available was a male silhouette. The motive remains unclear and no immediate arrests were made. Lopez had recently moved to Pomona and worked at a fast-food restaurant.

Did anyone in Pomona see a person leaving the 1300 block of Caprino Way that night or have information that could help identify the suspect?
