Ten-year-old Stephanie Raygoza of Los Angeles was shot and killed on Sunday, October 8, 2000, in Boyle Heights, according to Los Angeles County coroner records. Identified as a Latino female, Stephanie was struck in what investigators say was crossfire during a gang-related shooting. There were no immediate arrests, and the case has remained unsolved.

Reports say the investigation was hampered by a lack of witnesses willing to speak, and despite periodic reviews by police the case has gone cold. Stephanie’s death became a painful focal point for local concerns about the safety of children in neighborhoods affected by gang violence.

If anyone remembers that day or has information about the shooting in Boyle Heights that could help the LAPD, please come forward.
