Roxana Marisol Sanchez, a 36-year-old mother from Orlando, Florida, was shot and killed on May 8, 2021, the night before Mother’s Day. She had been out shopping and dining with a friend and was returning home when two teenagers followed her to her driveway and attempted to carjack her. When Sanchez tried to reverse to escape, one of the teens, 17-year-old Ja’Quarius McCray, shot her. She was taken to the hospital but died of her injuries.

McCray and another teenager, Jordan Robertson, fled the scene; McCray was later arrested and charged in connection with the shooting. Sanchez’s husband, Douglas Mejia, and their two young sons survived her; family members delivered emotional statements during court proceedings and the community raised funds to help with funeral costs. The crime drew attention for its senselessness and its impact on the family and neighborhood.

If anyone knew Roxana, her routines, or saw activity in her neighborhood the night of May 8, 2021, please share what can help the ongoing understanding of this case.
