Siria Imelda Portillo Torres, a 36-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on May 9, 2015, in Los Angeles. The shooting happened at about 8 p.m. outside Lupillo’s Bar on the 1400 block of South Western Avenue in the Harvard Heights neighborhood. Witnesses said Torres was standing outside the bar when she was struck; she managed to walk into the bar and then collapsed and was pronounced dead at the scene at about 8:15 p.m.

Investigators determined the gunman may have been attempting to shoot another person and later identified the suspect as Torres’ estranged husband, Bob Leonel Duran. A murder warrant was issued for Duran, but he died by suicide during a standoff with police in Koreatown, ending the case before any trial. Many questions about the events leading up to the shooting remain.
