Ranciel Natera, 30, was shot and killed outside an apartment building in Reading, Pennsylvania, on November 5, 2018, after a domestic dispute with his former girlfriend. The argument reportedly began after she learned he had fathered a child with another woman. During the confrontation, Danishka Otero-Velez produced a firearm and shot Natera in the chest. She then followed two witnesses into a nearby apartment and allegedly threatened them with the gun to keep them from reporting the shooting.

Otero-Velez allegedly gave a false name to responding officers and fled the state, later found and arrested in Miami. She was extradited to Pennsylvania and charged with murder, witness intimidation, and making terroristic threats. At a preliminary hearing in September 2019 a judge found there was enough evidence for her to stand trial on the murder charge.

Does anyone have additional information about Natera, his movements that day, or the witnesses who were present?
