María Teresa Contreras Herrera, an 88-year-old Hispanic matriarch known as Gramita, was killed in her Burien, Washington home on August 28, 2024. The shooting occurred just after midnight while she was asleep; four gunmen fired more than 70 rounds into the residence. She was the only fatality among 14 family members present, which included children and a pregnant woman, and died of a single gunshot wound.

Family described her as the heart of an extensive family — six children, 24 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren — a woman of deep faith who prayed for her relatives. The King County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit opened an investigation; witnesses reported the suspects fled in a red car. In the days after the attack, no arrests had been announced and no suspects were publicly identified.

Who in the community might have seen a red car leaving the area that night or have other information that could help investigators bring justice for Gramita?
