Jeanette Evangelina Reyes was 19 and a mother of four when she was shot in the back of the head in an unincorporated neighborhood of Desert Hot Springs, California, in the early hours of May 6, 2015. She suffered catastrophic brain injury, was placed on life support with no brain activity, and was removed from life support on May 11, 2015 after being pronounced brain dead.

The primary suspect was her husband, James Daniel Fidler III, then 25. He fled the scene, was the subject of a six-hour manhunt near Rancho Mirage, and turned himself in about 20 hours after the shooting. He was initially booked on attempted murder, domestic abuse and four counts of child cruelty; charges were later amended to include murder. Prosecutors presented an audio recording from the scene and evidence that Fidler suspected Reyes of an affair. The court found that three of the couple’s children were endangered.
