Ana Hellia Berinobis-McLemore, a 26-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot in the early morning hours of May 22, 2022, in Waterloo, Iowa. Officers responded around 3:24 a.m. to reports of gunfire and found a vehicle on the 200 block of Manson Street with Berinobis-McLemore wounded in the passenger seat. She was given first aid, taken to Allen Hospital, and pronounced dead shortly afterward. Investigators determined someone had opened fire on the vehicle near a residential intersection.

Authorities did not publicly say who was driving, how many people were in the vehicle, or identify a suspected gunman, getaway vehicle, or motive. Cedar Valley Crime Stoppers offered a $1,500 reward in July 2022 as investigators appealed for witnesses, surveillance footage, or other information. At the time of her death she was awaiting trial on a first-degree robbery charge related to an August 2020 killing that involved other defendants, but police did not connect that pending case to her shooting in public statements.

She was born April 3, 1996, in Waterloo, worked at Tyson Manufacturing as a union steward, and was buried following a June 3, 2022, funeral. No arrest or charge in her killing had been reported, and the case remained unsolved. If anyone witnessed activity near Sumner or Manson streets that night or has footage or information, please come forward.
