Angelica Kica Johanne Hernandez was a 13-year-old student at Clayton Middle School in Salt Lake City, Utah, remembered for her big heart and care for family. On the afternoon of April 26, 2023, she was home attending an online math class when her 16-year-old brother, Joseph Michael Landers, allegedly produced a handgun in the room. Witnesses say he loaded a clip, cocked the gun to frighten her, aimed at her head and fired; Angelica was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported Joseph ran from the room, told his mother he was sorry and that he had shot Kica, then fled but was arrested shortly afterward after boarding a public transit bus. The community held a candlelight vigil at Sherwood Park and a viewing was held on May 8, 2023, at Starks Funeral Parlor. Joseph Landers was charged as an adult with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a restricted person; the case was later closed with his sentencing.
