In the early morning hours of June 26, 1992, 28-year-old Loretta Melendez was found dead on the pavement of 17 Morgan Street in Yonkers, New York. A man walking to visit his girlfriend discovered her at 4:48 a.m. and summoned police. Melendez, a divorced mother of four who was unemployed at the time, had been shot in the head.

She had been seen earlier on Morgan Street with a female friend and had a prior history of arrests for prostitution and drug-related offenses; it has not been determined whether those arrests were related to her killing. The case quickly went cold.

If anyone knew Loretta, saw her that night, or has information about activity on Morgan Street in Yonkers on June 26, 1992, please come forward.
