Who Killed Candida Jimenez?

On March 22, 2018 Candida Jimenez was walking with two male friends towards her apartment when an unknown male approached them and demanded her purse. He shot her friend in the foot, Candida was shot nine times. The shooter then fled on foot with the purse. Candida was transported to University Hospital where she died due to her injuries. She was only 22 years old at the time of her death. Police have not said if it was a robbery or a targeted attack.

The Victim
There was not a lot of information on her Facebook page which is maintained by her mother. She had at least one child, but again, it is unclear the number of children she had. There are not pictures of her engaging in high risk behaviors like drinking or using drugs. Her interests, music, movies and TV show preferences are very similar to her peers. I would say other then being out at 3:00 AM in the morning, she appeared to be a very low risk victim. Nothing indicates that she ever put herself in danger. The name is common (to a point) and the few results for criminal charges that came up were very minor and may not have even been her charges.

The Friend
Police released the name of the friend who was shot in the foot. He is twenty two years old and his name is Homero Sandoval (Note: I do not have information on this person at this time, but will add more details when I have them.). Another woman was present, but she fled the scene as soon as the shooting started.

The Suspect
The suspect, dressed in all black with a white mask-like covering over his face, attacked three people walking home in the 5900 block of Danny Kaye Drive just after 3 a.m, at the Seven Oaks Apartment Comples.

Theories
I personally do not believe this was a robbery for one minute. Why would the robber shoot the man in his foot and turn and shoot her nine times. I suspect someone wanted her dead, which would be accomplished by nine bullets. I also suspect the police have already figured out what has really happened. Having figured something out and having enough proof for court are two entirely different things. They may have to wait until someone gets arrested for a major crime and they have knowledge of this crime to offer for a lesser charge. Sad but true. There is no loyalty among thieves.

The Tragic Death of Gabrielle Barrett

Gabrielle Barrett was a four and a half year old little girl who had only been living with her mother, Candice Diaz for three months when she died on New Year's Eve at the hands of her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Brad Fields. The child was covered in bruises and suffered burns allegedly because she ran her own bath. Prior to this time, she had spent her entire life with her Grandmother, Cynthia Diaz who failed her horrendously by leaving her in the care of her mother. The grandmother claimed the child had to live with her mother to attend pre-k schooling. This school attendance is not mandatory, but is optional. In most states you are not required to enroll your child in school until the age of six. The grandmother stated during the preliminary hearing she saw Gabby on Christmas and she appeared fine. Her hair and teeth were fine, though allegedly she had head lice (not life threatening and easily treated). She did everything but backflips to defend her daughter...

Seandell Jackson

Seandell Jackson was convicted of murdering Nathan Potter who was a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had attempted to rob him, however Nathan was not carrying any cash and was merely traveling from one location to another at the time of his death. There is nothing special about Seandell, other than he is the poster child for why prisons exist, and that he and his family are responsible for the choices he made that day. When he was sentenced for first-degree intentional homicide and attempted robbery, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, he screamed obscenities, and had to be tackled and pepper sprayed. He was not alone in his outbursts, his family yelled out as well: " I hate you! I hate you all!", " I hate all of you!", " God's the judge" . Funny to bring God into things when your family member has committed which God forbids. Perhaps they were absent on the Sunday that was being taught. It's easy ...

The Life and Times of Veronic Staley

Vernonica Staley was recently sentenced to life for the murder of Aljosa (Al) Memovic. She was thirty four years old at the time of the murder and was an aspiring singer. They had dated for some time, but in the previous year and half their relationship had deteriorated considerably. Friends had in fact warned Al to not meet up with Veronica. She had set up the telling him she had some of things to return and offered up “Dessert” after the lunch, according to the Houston Chronicle. While not much is known exactly about the length or nature of their relationship, relatives testified that Staley had deep mental issues after trauma she suffered in childhood. The prosecutors acknowledged she had issues, but said they were not sufficient enough to impact her sentencing. This is as it should be. There are literally millions of people living in the United States who have had childhoods filled with unimaginable pain and suffering who do not go on to kill others or live a life of cr...
