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.
