On September 19, 2016, 20-year-old Lucia Pamatz was shot and killed in her Salem, Oregon home on Hyde Court Southeast. While on the phone with 911, she reported that her ex-boyfriend, 24-year-old Cristian Acosta, was trying to break in. The dispatcher instructed her to hide; she took refuge in a bathroom and could be heard begging as Acosta forced his way in and fired multiple shots. Pamatz was killed execution-style.

Reports say Acosta had a history of violence and abuse toward Pamatz. In June 2016 she had obtained a restraining order and had told authorities he had access to firearms and was capable of hurting her. At the time of the killing Acosta was on probation for a prior assault against Pamatz. Following the murder he fled the state and was later taken into custody at the Canadian border.

Did anyone in the Salem area know Lucia or have information about her relationship with Acosta?
