Latin musician DELAROSA was killed in a fatal shooting by three men.

Three men have been charged with murder in Northridge for the murder of Latin musician DELAROSA this past weekend. According to Los Angeles County prosecutors, Maria De La Rosa, who was only 22 years old, was shot to death after the men approached the parked car occupied by her and 2 others on Bryant Street near Tampa Avenue. They demanded money, and when they were not complied with, they opened fire.

LA County District Attorney Nathan Hochman said, "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. My Office will pursue this case aggressively to ensure those responsible are held fully accountable for this senseless and deadly violence.”
