Popular Singer, 22, Ambushed and Killed in Los Angeles Shooting

A tragic incident occurred in Los Angeles involving Maria De La Rosa, a popular singer known by her stage name “DELAROSA.” At just 22 years old, she was ambushed and fatally shot while sitting in a parked car in the Northridge area.

The Shooting Incident

According to reports from El-Balad, the shooting took place shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday. Witnesses recalled seeing two male suspects approach the car parked on Bryant Street. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) confirmed that multiple shots were fired at De La Rosa and two other individuals inside the vehicle.

Victims and Their Conditions

Tragically, while De La Rosa lost her life, the two other individuals in the car were left in critical condition as they continue to receive medical attention. The LAPD is actively investigating the incident and has yet to determine the motive behind the attack, with the suspects still at large.

Maria De La Rosa’s Career

Maria De La Rosa had recently released a single titled “No Me Llames” (translating to “Don’t Call Me” in English) in August. This loss marks a heartbreaking moment for the Latin music community, as she is the second young Latin artist to be killed in recent months.

Previous Incidents

  • Fede Dorcaz, a 29-year-old Latin singer, was shot and killed in Mexico City in October.
  • Dorcaz was targeted after leaving rehearsals for the reality show Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy, set to premiere shortly after his death.

As the investigations into De La Rosa’s death continue, the music industry mourns the loss of another promising talent in a tragic string of violence directed at artists. The LAPD’s ongoing efforts aim to bring the perpetrators to justice and shed light on the motive behind these violent acts.
