On Saturday, August 4, 2012, at approximately 10:35 p.m., Long Beach Police responded to a mobile home park in the 6400 block of Atlantic Avenue, in regards to a shooting. Once on scene, they discovered the body of 22-year-old Eleonora Rivera Hidalgo inside a vehicle parked at a residence within the park.
Victim Hidalgo, who had sustained a gunshot wound to her upper torso, was being treated by witnesses. She was transported to a local hospital by paramedics and pronounced deceased shortly after arriving.
The preliminary investigation revealed that prior to the shooting, the victim and the suspect were arguing inside the vehicle that was parked outside their home. When a gunshot was heard, witnesses went outside to check on the couple and found the injured victim in the vehicle. As the suspect fled, he attempted to steal an unoccupied vehicle and was last seen jumping over a fence in the complex before disappearing from the area and remains outstanding.
