Yueping Zhang, a 34-year-old South East Asian woman, was found fatally shot on November 23, 2023, at Angie's Body Work Spa on Pleasant Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. The shooting occurred on Thanksgiving Day and prompted a Worcester Police Department investigation; authorities initially did not release her name.

A suspect was identified and arrested the day after the shooting. Marcel Santos-Padgett, 31, of Leicester, was taken into custody and first charged with armed assault with intent to murder; by December that charge had been upgraded to murder. Police later linked Santos-Padgett to an earlier August 20, 2023 shooting on Illinois Street in which a woman was shot at but not injured. At the time of the November incident Santos-Padgett was on probation for a 2021 home invasion conviction.

An indictment handed down in March 2024 included multiple counts, among them murder for Zhang’s death and additional armed assault and firearms charges related to both the August and November incidents. Did anyone know Zhang or have information about her activities at Angie's Body Work Spa that day?
