Melinda Soria, 35, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was shot to death and found about 8:25 a.m. on July 18, 2017, in the doorway of her mother’s home in the 1100 block of James Avenue South. Several other people were reportedly present at the house when the shooting occurred.

Police arrested 27-year-old Joshua Thompson later that same day in the 4500 block of 19th Avenue South; he was taken into custody without incident and charged with second-degree murder, held without bond in the Pinellas County Jail. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the shooting.

Soria is survived by her father Eddie Soria; her mother Aida J. Santiago; two sons, Jacob Xavier and Joseph Carreras; and a brother, Michael D. Marrero. Funeral services were held at Bethel Community Baptist Church.

Did anyone in the community see or hear anything that morning that might explain what happened?
