Yesenia DeLeon, a 35-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on March 18, 2015, in the bedroom of a home in the 300 block of West 56th Street in the South Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shooting occurred around 7 p.m.; coroner’s records state she was shot in the face with a shotgun.

Authorities say an 18-year-old, Jose Alberto Perez, was waiting in his stepfather’s home because he was looking for DeLeon’s sister, with whom he had animosity. Perez reportedly mistook Yesenia for that sister, shot her inside the bedroom, then went outside and fired another round before LAPD apprehended him. He was charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon; prosecutors argued he had planned the attack and was motivated by a personal vendetta.

The case prompted strong community attention because of the mistaken-identity killing and the young age of the accused. Was anyone in the neighborhood that evening able to provide information about movements around the 300 block of West 56th Street?
