On July 17, 2022, 56-year-old Pedro Pineda and his wife, 37-year-old Rosa Mirian Rivera de Pineda, were fatally shot while eating in the food court of Greenwood Park Mall. The couple, natives of El Salvador, were shot by a gunman who also killed 30-year-old Victor Gomez; autopsies showed all three victims died of multiple gunshot wounds.

The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Jonathan Douglas Sapirman of Greenwood, entered the mall at 4:54 p.m., stayed in a restroom for over an hour, then emerged at 5:56 p.m. armed with a Sig Sauer M400 rifle and opened fire. A 22-year-old armed civilian, Elisjsha Dicken, engaged Sapirman and fatally shot him, ending the attack after roughly 15 seconds. Investigators recovered two additional guns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from Sapirman.

Authorities found no definitive motive. Sapirman had a juvenile record but no adult criminal history; an ex-girlfriend described abusive behavior, racist views, a fascination with Nazi Germany, and statements that he expected not to live past 20 and might take others with him. Sapirman was identified as the lone shooter. Did anyone who knew the Pinedas or was at the mall that day notice anything unusual beforehand?
