Maria Cecilia Rosa was a 30-year-old deputy sheriff with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department who was killed on March 28, 2006, in Long Beach, California. She was leaving her girlfriend’s home that morning to go to work at the Inmate Reception Center at Men’s Central Jail. While loading items into her car trunk she was approached by two men on bicycles who intended to rob her. Rosa tried to retrieve her service weapon from the trunk but it jammed. One of the men fired two shots with a .22-caliber handgun, and Rosa was taken to a hospital where she died of her injuries.

Rosa had served six years with the department and was remembered for her dedication, positive attitude, and commitment to duty. The investigation led to arrests and murder charges against two suspects. Does anyone have information about Rosa’s last call or movements that morning, or who saw her near the house before she left?
