On August 3, 1994, 55-year-old Catalina Correa was shot three times and killed outside a Safeway in the Portland suburb of Cedar Hill, Oregon after witnessing a robbery. The robber, identified as Roger Hoan Brady, had a prior record of bank robberies and was on parole at the time. A bystander saw the shooter flee in a Daihatsu Charade and was able to note the vehicle’s license plate, which was registered to Brady’s father.

Brady was already under surveillance after a tip earlier in the year linked him to the December 27, 1993 slaying of Manhattan Beach Police Officer Martin Ganz. Investigators found the .380-caliber pistol used to kill Correa, a weapon that matched the firearm used in Ganz’s murder. In November 1995 a Hillsboro jury convicted Brady of aggravated murder in Correa’s death and he was sentenced to life in Oregon; he was later returned to California to face charges in the Ganz case.

If anyone remembers seeing a Daihatsu Charade near the Cedar Hill Safeway on August 3, 1994, or has other information about Catalina Correa’s murder, please share what is known.
