Ivelisse Alvarado Sanchez, 43, was shot dead in her Miami home on January 26, 2020. The attack happened in the early morning at the residence near NW 18th Court and 128th Street while she was asleep in bed with her children. Two gunmen ran up to the house and fired more than 30 rounds into the home; Ivelisse was struck multiple times and later pronounced dead at Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Her 13-year-old son was wounded but survived; the father and another son in the house were not injured.

Miami‑Dade police released surveillance footage showing the two men approaching, firing and fleeing, and investigators say the shooters appeared to have a specific target in the home, though the motive remains unclear. Lack of community cooperation has complicated the probe and no arrests have been announced. Detectives continue to ask anyone with information to come forward and help identify the perpetrators. If anyone has information about that night or recognizes the men in the video, please share what is known with authorities.
