Maria Alegandra Ayala, 19, was shot and killed in Taylorsville, Utah in the early morning of April 3, 2017. She was driving near the Callaway Apartments around 1:15 a.m. when gunfire struck her vehicle. Her car, hit by multiple bullets, rolled about 75 yards and collided with a parked van; police found her deceased in the driver’s seat with a gunshot wound to the head and numerous shell casings and bullet holes at the scene, including one in the driver’s side window.

Investigators initially questioned four teenagers — three boys and a girl — who were located in a nearby apartment after a witness reported seeing them run inside, one wearing a bloody shirt. At least three of those teens were documented gang members and associates of Ayala, though they were not immediately named as suspects. Witnesses later said the shooting followed a party where two groups left in separate vehicles and occupants of Ayala’s car made gang signs toward the other vehicle.

In October 2018 Domingo Rodrigues, who was 17 at the time of the shooting and known by the moniker Demon, was charged as an adult with murder and multiple counts of discharging a firearm; witnesses alleged he fired from a truck, putting his hand out of the window and opening fire. Did anyone who knew Maria or was at that gathering see something that could help clarify what happened that night?
