LOS ANGELES — Three gang members have been arrested on murder charges in the drive-by shooting death of a 27-year-old single mother in South Los Angeles last month.
On April 26, around 12:20 a.m., Magali Alberto, a 27-year-old single mother and project manager, was shot to death in her car while she waited at a red traffic-light at 1600 Manchester Avenue.
She had been at a small family birthday party and was returning home after the celebration.
As she waited for the light to turn green, the suspects, three local gang members, drove alongside and indiscriminately fired gunshots through the tinted windows of Alberto’s sedan. She died at scene.
“Everything that we know about Magali is she was a very good person and that she was not involved in any kind of activity, it makes absolutely no sense, and that is why the department took such a sense of urgency and purpose to dig up every evidence we could find to ensure that justice was met,” LAPD Capt. Stacy Spell said.
