Kendra Reana McIntyre, 20, was found with a gunshot wound on March 21, 2024, near 70th Street and Figueroa Street in South Los Angeles, an area associated with sex work. She was taken to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. She was the daughter of Debra Rush, a survivor of human trafficking and the founder of the Fresno nonprofit Breaking the Chains, who has been an advocate for trafficking victims.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigation led to the arrest of a 14-year-old female on May 6, 2024; the juvenile was taken into custody without incident and the Los Angeles County District Attorney filed a murder charge on May 7. Because of her age, the suspect’s identity has not been made public. Kendra’s mother said she is heartbroken for both families and reiterated her commitment to supporting trafficking survivors.

If anyone has information about Kendra, the circumstances that night, or the area around 70th and Figueroa, please share what you know.
