Melinda Alma Gonzalez was 20 and pregnant when she was found shot to death at a picnic area in Tucson, Arizona, on February 20, 2004. Her body was discovered that winter day, and the killing was treated as a homicide.

Very few details about the investigation have been released. No arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced and the case remains unsolved. The loss of Melinda and her unborn child left family and community members seeking answers.

If anyone was in the Tucson picnic area on February 20, 2004, or has information about Melinda’s movements or contacts in the days before her death, please come forward.
