Juanita Maldonado, a 35-year-old mother of three from Stockton, California, was fatally shot after attending a St. Patrick’s Day party on March 17, 2013. The gathering was on the 1800 block of East Sonora Street, near Stribley Park in South Stockton. As the party was winding down, her daughter Yvette waited by a car and saw two or three young men pass by with a visible gun; Yvette tried calling her mother but Juanita did not answer. Moments later gunfire erupted and both Juanita and another attendee, Juan Sarrarez, were struck. Juanita died the following day.

The motive and circumstances remain unclear — it is not known whether the shooting was aimed at the homeowner or renter, or whether it was gang-related. The Stockton Police Department says the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been announced. Stockton Crime Stoppers has offered up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Juanita is remembered by family as loyal and dependable and is survived by her twins Yvette and Roger and son Gabriel Flores.

If anyone knew Juanita or was at the party and has information that could help, please come forward to the Stockton Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
