RIP GINIE SAMAYOA (October 29, 1981 – January 31, 2009)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 6:30 a.m.

The decedent’s body was found in the driver’s seat of her red Toyota Tercel in an alley behind a San Pedro diner.

Authorities said the 27-year-old woman had been engaged in identity theft, and her laptop computer, which contained credit card information, was stolen from her during the attack, which occurred several blocks from her apartment.

Raul Tiscareno, Daniel Keith Martinez and Michael Bonfiglio were convicted of the killing.

There was substantial evidence that the three men had planned to rob Samayoa of her laptop computer and to kill her, eliminating the only witness to their robbery.

The woman’s laptop was found on a bed in Tiscareno’s apartment.
