Yolanda Catalán Pastul, 38, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a vehicle in the 800 block of South Berendo Street in Koreatown, Los Angeles, on October 29, 2024. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office ruled her death a homicide.

Authorities arrested 50-year-old Marvin Magaña in connection with this killing. Magaña is also a suspect in the fatal shooting of 43-year-old Jorge Guerrero Hurtado on the same day, in the 900 block of South Victoria Avenue near Crenshaw and Olympic boulevards. Magaña surrendered and is being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility with bail set at six million dollars; a court date is scheduled for December 4.

A memorial fund has been created to help the surviving children: William (16), Henry (12), and Kelsey (8) Catalán, and George and Katherine Guerrero. If anyone has information about Yolanda, her movements that day, or the events on October 29, please come forward.
