Storm Wolf, 38, of Temecula was found shot to death inside a residence in Menifee on February 1, 2025 after reports of gunfire in the early morning. Loved ones described Wolf as deeply compassionate and generous.

Police identified 45-year-old Jose Velasquez of Menifee as the primary suspect; he was reportedly an acquaintance of Wolf and had fled the scene before officers arrived. Investigators say Velasquez may have traveled to Santa Ana. Officers later located him in his vehicle, pursued him to Newport Pier in Newport Beach, and opened fire, killing him at the scene. It is unclear whether Velasquez fired at police or who fired first.

The investigation into Wolf’s murder is ongoing as authorities work to determine a motive. If anyone knew Storm Wolf or has information about her death or Velasquez’s movements before February 1, please share what you know.
