It was then that she was shot in the back and killed.
Her sons spoke of their family’s grief at a vigil for their beloved mother.
“My mother was a beautiful person,” Eric Soriano told De-Perdomo. “She was getting blessings upon blessings upon blessings for the past few months, and it just got taken away from her, for no reason.”
Police are putting up flyers around the neighborhood, seeking advice as they search for the suspect behind this random deadly violence.
There is now a $3,500 reward for information that could lead to an arrest in this case.
He was the second innocent bystander killed last week. The other was a 12 year old boy.

She remains in critical condition.
Police believe the shooting may have been due to mistaken identity.
The shooter remains free.
