Lina Sanchez, 48, was one of three family members killed during an evening robbery at their Philadelphia grocery, Lorena’s Grocery, on September 6, 2011. Two masked men entered the store and demanded money; although the victims complied, Lina, her brother Porfirio Nunez, and sister-in-law Juanna Nunez were shot multiple times and found dead at the scene.

The attack occurred in a small, family-run business known in the neighborhood. Reports say the suspects also carried out other robberies, and surveillance footage from a different incident helped link them to this crime. The victims’ eldest daughter, Jessica Nunez, was present during the attack and later testified about what she witnessed as a 19-year-old.

The killings devastated a family and the community that knew them. If anyone has information about the events that night or remembers anything about the store or suspicious activity in that area, please come forward.
