Yesenia Jessica Torres, a 44-year-old Latina businesswoman from San Bernardino, California, was fatally shot on January 10, 2025, in broad daylight outside a hamburger restaurant she frequently visited. Surveillance video showed a brief physical struggle with an assailant before Torres was shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators describe the killing as a murder-for-hire plot tied to Torres’ contentious divorce. Authorities say five suspects with links to Torres’ estranged husband, 53-year-old businessman Sergio Reveles, were involved. The shooter was identified as 31-year-old Gerardo Llamas-Torres, with 54-year-old Arnoldo Ruelas named as the getaway driver and his brother, 37-year-old Reynaldo Ruelas, acting as an intermediary. Reveles and his business partner, 42-year-old Juan Perez, were alleged to be behind the plot. Arrests and searches in mid-January and early February resulted in multiple arrests and the seizure of more than $286,000 in cash and several firearms.

All five suspects have been charged with murder under California Penal Code 187, and prosecutors added special circumstances including financial gain, robbery, and lying in wait. Does anyone have information about Torres’ movements before January 10 or the people who may have been watching her?
