Patricia Sigala-Salva, 63, was found dead at her Baldwin Park home in the 3700 block of Idaho Avenue on October 18, 2014. The Los Angeles County coroner ruled her death a homicide after an autopsy found multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors reported they had not seen her for several days and described seeing a man running from her garage carrying beer, which prompted the discovery.

Investigators arrested three people the next day. Juan Carlos Santana, 45, and his son, Andres Santana, 22, were charged in connection with the killing; Juan Carlos Santana was convicted of murder, burglary, and receiving stolen property, and the jury found he personally fired the gun. Andres Santana pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter and admitted a special allegation that a gun was used. Deborah Curiel, who had been renting a room in the house, was convicted of receiving stolen property and acting as an accessory after the fact. The motive reported at trial was a dispute over missing money and jewelry after the victim asked the occupants to leave.

Anyone who knew Patricia or who has information about what happened in the days before October 18, 2014, is asked to come forward.
