"Maria De La Rosa, 22, known professionally as DELAROSA was shot to death inside a car with two other occupants early Saturday in Northridge when the suspects approached their parked car on Bryant STreet near Tampa Avenue, demanded money and opened fire, authorities said. Francisco Otilio Gaytan, 27, Benny LiconGomez, 27, and Eduardo Lopez, 21, all of Northridge, were each charged Wednesday with one felony count of murder and two felony counts of attempted second-degree robbery in the Nov. 22 attack."
""This was a ruthless and targeted attack that stole the life of a young woman and artist and inflicted profound lifelong trauma on her family and the two survivors," Los Angeles County Dist. Atty Nathan Hochman in a statement announcing the charges. "My Office will pursue this case aggressively to ensure those responsible are held fully accountable for this senseless and deadly violence." If convicted of all the charges, the men face the possibility of life without parole."
Three men were charged with murder and attempted second-degree robbery after an ambush-style shooting in Northridge that killed 22-year-old musician Maria De La Rosa (DELAROSA). The attack occurred shortly after 1:25 a.m. on Nov. 22 when suspects approached a parked car on Bryant Street, demanded money and opened fire, injuring two others who sustained critical injuries. Francisco Otilio Gaytan, 27, and Benny LiconGomez, 27, have been arrested and are held on multimillion-dollar bail; Eduardo Lopez, 21, remains a fugitive. If convicted, the defendants face possible life without parole. De La Rosa released her first song in August and had over 40,000 Instagram followers.
