The murder of Stephanie Rodriguez, following the death of Mexican Mafia member Michael Torres, raises doubts about a possible mob hit. Instead, evidence suggests her death resulted from a personal dispute between her and Torres' niece, Evelyn Torres, who has been charged with the murder. Det. Cary Bell revealed that the confrontation occurred during an emotional time for Evelyn after her uncle's passing. Witness testimonies indicate that Rodriguez was preparing to move out, indicating tension in their living arrangement.
Det. Cary Bell of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testified that Evelyn Torres was distraught over her uncle's death when she got into an argument with Rodriguez in the early-morning hours of July 14, 2023.

After Michael Torres' mother died in 2020, both Rodriguez and Evelyn Torres had moved in.
The circumstances surrounding the death of Stephanie Rodriguez raised questions of whether she'd been targeted in a wider campaign against her partner.
