Gunfire pierced an alley fence Christmas Day, striking and killing a 46-year-old woman as she visited a neighbor in Southeast Los Angeles, police said.
Etelinda Moreira was in her neighbor’s kitchen about 5 p.m. Tuesday when someone opened fire, said Sgt. Henry Quan, of the LAPD’s Southeast Division. She was taken to Martin Luther King Jr. Medical Center, where she died, Quan said.
The Salvadoran-born Moreira had celebrated the first anniversary of her marriage to Pedro Guzman on Christmas Eve.
Police had no suspect or motive for the shooting late Wednesday.
