Leslie Ruiz-Basilio, 28, was shot and killed on May 15, 2021, during a daytime robbery at the Metro by T-Mobile store in Elsmere, Delaware where she worked. The suspect reportedly arrived on a blue bicycle, entered the store, fatally shot Leslie and then fled in her 2008 Cadillac Escalade. She was a mother of two and a longtime employee who had endured multiple robberies at the store before, according to accounts, yet continued working.

A memorial of flowers and candles formed outside the store as family, friends and customers mourned. Her mother, Celia Basilio, called the killing senseless and demanded justice. Authorities say their investigation later identified 39-year-old Keith Gibson as the suspect; prosecutors indicted him on dozens of felony counts, including the murder of Leslie Ruiz-Basilio, and allege he committed additional violent crimes in Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Does anyone who knew Leslie or who was in the area that day have information that could help clarify what happened?
