Ilona G. Flint, 22, was killed on December 24, 2013, in San Diego. The shootings occurred about 1:15 a.m. in the Westfield Mission Valley mall parking lot after Flint, who worked at the mall, waited for her fiancé Salvatore Belvedere and called his phone repeatedly. Flint called 911 to report that she and Salvatore had been shot. Emergency responders found Flint dead inside a vehicle from a gunshot wound to the head; Salvatore was critically wounded in the head and torso and later died of his injuries.

A related discovery on January 17, 2014, found the decomposing body of Salvatore’s brother Gianni Belvedere in the trunk of a car in Riverside; an autopsy showed he died of a gunshot wound to the head. Ballistics later connected a gun recovered from Carlo Mercado to the murders, and Mercado’s DNA was found on an air freshener can in Gianni’s trunk. Mercado was charged, later pleaded guilty, and received three consecutive life terms without parole.

Was anyone who knew Ilona or the Belvedere brothers around the Westfield Mission Valley area that night able to help fill gaps in the timeline?
