Socorro Treminio Delgado, a 33-year-old Hispanic woman, was shot to death in her Miami apartment on March 10, 2015. She died of gunshot wounds to the head and chest in the early hours of the morning while her two young children — a 5-month-old daughter and a 4-year-old son — were in the apartment. A man who lived there was awakened by the suspect and asked to watch the children; when Delgado’s sister did not arrive as expected he entered the bedroom and found her bleeding.

Wilmer Salmeron, 28, identified as Delgado’s boyfriend and the father of her 5-month-old daughter, was arrested later that day and found in possession of a gun. He was charged with second-degree murder; his public defender called the evidence circumstantial and pointed to injuries Salmeron had as possibly supporting self-defense, while prosecutors argued the evidence showed a deliberate act. A judge ordered him held without bond.

Family members including a cousin, aunt, sister and brother-in-law came forward to care for the children. A judge placed the children in foster care until a visitation schedule could be arranged and the family said they were willing to share custody. Did anyone in the Miami area know Socorro Delgado or have information about what happened that night?
