Sonia Soto, a 27-year-old Latina, was shot and killed on January 17, 2014, in downtown Los Angeles. Her body was found slumped over the steering wheel of her car parked under a bridge near South Santa Fe Avenue and East Sixth Street at about 11:30 p.m.; the coroner ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the neck and she was pronounced dead at the scene shortly thereafter.

Investigators later tied the killing to a personal motive. Oscar Cedano, Soto’s ex-boyfriend, was arrested and charged in connection with the shooting; evidence presented at trial included Cedano’s palm print on the exterior of Soto’s car, documents related to a child support order found in the back seat, and incriminating statements he made while in custody. He was convicted of first-degree murder with special circumstances of murder for financial gain and murder while lying in wait and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Does anyone have information about Sonia’s last known movements that night or about the area near South Santa Fe Avenue and East Sixth Street around 11:30 p.m. on January 17, 2014?
