Lori Anne Rochon, 36, was shot and killed on July 6, 1989, in Oakland, California. Her death was one of four fatal shootings in a series of random attacks along or near Interstate 580 carried out during spring and summer 1989 by Charles Arnett Stevens. On the day she died, Rochon was driving to work when she was shot; investigators later linked the murders to a semi-automatic handgun used by the attacker.

Stevens’s spree ran from April 3 to July 27, 1989, and included fatal shootings of Leslie Ann Noyer, Laquann Sloan, and Raymond August, along with several attempted murders. He was arrested on July 27, 1989, found with a gun tied to the killings and newspaper clippings about the shootings. Stevens faced multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder and was sentenced to death in 1993; the California Supreme Court later affirmed that sentence.
