On Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025, the body of 20-year-old Angela Yajahira Cortes Villegas was found in a wooded section of Crest Lawn Memorial Park in Atlanta, Georgia. She had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators initially believed she was Hispanic; with no ID recovered her identity was later confirmed through fingerprint records.

Police released images of distinctive tattoos to seek leads: an eye on her right wrist, a treble clef on her left wrist, and a bird with a flower on her left thigh. Surveillance footage from the evening of April 19 showed Villegas at a gas station across from the cemetery with a man and a woman, and the three were captured walking into the cemetery together. Autopsy and investigation determined she was shot five times.

Court documents allege a planned conspiracy. On May 23, 2025, three metro Atlanta residents were arrested in Norcross and charged with murder, aggravated assault, armed robbery and conspiracy; two of the three also face felony murder charges. Authorities say the suspects discussed killing Villegas during the day and identify one person as the shooter, and investigators are probing whether others were involved. Did anyone see Villegas, the two companions, or the vehicle they used on the night of April 19?
