Some of Latin singer DELAROSA’s final moments before her death following an ambush-style shooting in Los Angeles last weekend were described via newly released dispatch audio.
The shooting occurred early Saturday in the city’s Northridge neighborhood, where the LAPD said “multiple rounds were fired at several victims who were parked in the area in their vehicle.”
In the audio obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, the dispatcher describes the victim — later identified as 22-year-old Maria De La Rosa — as a Hispanic woman in her 20s with a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The dispatcher says she’s in critical condition in the emergency trauma ward at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, where she’d been taken by the other people in the car. She succumbed to her wounds shortly after.
According to police, two suspects approached a parked car in Northridge and started shooting at the people inside. The dispatcher described the suspects — who remain at large — as two Hispanic males, ages 15 to 20, wearing dark gray hoodies.
The victim’s family told TMZ another woman and a man were in the car when the shots rang out, focused on the driver’s side. De La Rosa was in the front passenger side, but was the only person stuck by the bullets. Multiple 9mm rounds were found near where the car was parked before the shooting.
The family told the outlet they have no idea who the suspects could be, but that the LAPD informed them about an abundance of security video in the area that could help track them down.
DELAROSA released her final song, “No Me Llames,” in August and had promised her fans that more new music was in the works.
