Martha Monserat Cruz was an 18-year-old Latina who was fatally shot on August 1, 2009, in Los Angeles. She was sitting in the back seat of a car stopped at a red light on South Normandie Avenue in the Adams-Normandie neighborhood at about 10:01 p.m. when a light-colored four-door sedan with tinted windows pulled up alongside. The front-seat passenger of that sedan asked the occupants where they were from and then produced a chrome revolver, firing several shots into Cruz’s vehicle. She was taken to a hospital and died shortly after arriving.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the killing, and the case became part of a joint LAPD–FBI effort called Save Our Streets aimed at addressing gang-related homicides in South Los Angeles and clearing a backlog of unsolved gang killings. Authorities described the suspect vehicle and the confrontation as gang-related, and investigators urged anyone with information to come forward. The case remained open as detectives continued to seek leads.

Does anyone have information about that night or about the light-colored sedan and its occupants?
