Yahaira Hernandez was 30 when she was found fatally shot on the morning of January 5, 2015, inside a running SUV in the Forest Park neighborhood of Springfield, Massachusetts. Authorities described the killing as an act of domestic violence. The vehicle was parked near an elementary school on a day students were returning from the holiday break; officials said the children were not in danger.

Investigators arrested 40-year-old Pedro Vasquez the evening of January 5 at a residence in Springfield’s North End and charged him with Hernandez’s murder. Vasquez pleaded not guilty at arraignment and was ordered held without bail, with a further court appearance scheduled for early February. Few specifics about motive or the relationship between Vasquez and Hernandez were released at that time.

Did anyone in the Forest Park or North End areas have information about Hernandez’s movements or her relationship with Vasquez?
