On the evening of January 27, 2025, 30-year-old Marisol Chavez Figueroa was fatally shot on the sidewalk of Whitewood Drive just north of Hearn Avenue in Santa Rosa’s Roseland neighborhood. Officers responding to a 911 call found her unresponsive with at least one gunshot wound to the torso; she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified a suspect connected to a white Toyota Tacoma and located the vehicle on East Robles Avenue. Detectives traced the suspect and an accomplice to a motel in the 3100 block of Santa Rosa Avenue and served a search warrant there on January 28, 2025. Two Santa Rosa men, 38-year-old Domingo Miguel Lopez and 42-year-old Floriberto Sanchez, were arrested; a firearm was recovered. Lopez was booked on suspicion of murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. Sanchez was booked on suspicion of accessory after the fact and driving under the influence. Both were held without bail.

Marisol leaves two daughters, ages 12 and 4. Her sister, Yoannah Rodriguez, organized a fundraiser saying Marisol was murdered by a man she knew and asking others in abusive relationships to seek help. A burial service was held February 18, 2025, at Chapel of The Chimes Cemetery in Santa Rosa.
