Leah Marie Gomez, 22, was fatally shot on May 31, 2023, while sitting in her car in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her one-year-old daughter was in the vehicle but was reported unharmed. A friend who was on the phone with Gomez heard the gunfire and called 911. Officers found Gomez in a silver Mercury on the 300 block of Commerce Avenue SW with multiple gunshot wounds.

Police identified 27-year-old Luis Fabian Bernal-Sosa, the father of Gomez’s child and her ex-boyfriend, as a person of interest. Investigators noted a known history of domestic violence between Gomez and Bernal-Sosa and an active warrant for an alleged prior attempt to strangle her. The weapon used was described as an AR-15 style rifle.
