Judith Lee-Rene Bean, 18, was shot and killed on December 19, 2014, in the 1900 block of Boynton Avenue in Martinez, California. The shooting happened shortly after 9:30 p.m.; Judith was pronounced dead at the scene and a 25-year-old man, Michael Sherman Parker, suffered non-life-threatening injuries. No arrests were immediately made and the investigation remains open.

The date of Judith’s death was the fifth anniversary of her older brother Eric Bean’s December 19, 2009 murder. Eric had been tortured and killed; several people were later convicted in that case, including Timothy Delosreyes III, Timothy Delosreyes Jr., and Raymond Gardner, while Melody Rives served six months in jail after testifying. Judith had recently returned to Martinez from her father’s home in Pittsburg to care for her sick mother.

The Martinez Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. Does anyone in the community have information that could help resolve Judith’s case?
