Wendy Caroline Martinez, a 16-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on March 3, 2015, in the 15700 block of Roscoe Boulevard in North Hills, Los Angeles. Police and paramedics responded to a call at a motel around 11 p.m.; paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene. She had been visiting Louie Lopez at the motel when the fatal shooting occurred.

Los Angeles Police Department investigators arrested 22-year-old Louie Lopez and charged him with one count of murder and one count of unlawful firearm activity. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office reported Lopez was being held in lieu of $1 million bail. Motive was not immediately clear; authorities asked anyone with information to come forward.

Wendy’s family and community mourned her loss, and the case prompted local attention to gun violence. Does anyone have information about Wendy, the motel on Roscoe Boulevard that night, or the events leading up to March 3, 2015?
