Sheila Lorta was a 16-year-old Paramount High School cheerleader who was killed in a gang-related shooting on September 30, 1992. She was struck as she crossed the street in front of her school during an exchange of gunfire between rival gang members at about 2:45 a.m., and she died roughly 12 hours later at Charter Suburban Hospital.

The community response was large: more than 1,000 mourners attended her funeral. Reports concentrate on the tragedy of an innocent bystander becoming a victim of gang violence, and give little detail about arrests or suspects connected to the shooting.

What additional information do readers have about the case or about people who might have information about the shooting?
