She had no known enemies or reason to fear. But her Rodeo killing appeared targeted, police say
"About 10 minutes before she was shot and killed, 28-year-old Daniella Avila stopped by the BevBox on Parker Avenue, picked up some items, then got back into a black BMW and headed off toward a nearby apartment building. Avila, a Concord resident, was simply going about her business, and gave off no indication that anything was amiss. But someone was watching her that night, and when she hung a left on Parker Avenue towards the Rodeo waterfront, another vehicle seemed to take note and changed direction to follow, authorities said."
"Police say that she was shot in the neck by a rifle, surviving long enough to make it to a nearby resident's front door in an apparent attempt to seek help just a few minutes before succumbing to her injury. In the two years since then, police have interviewed friends and family in a thus-far fruitless attempt to explain why anyone would want Avila dead."
Daniella Avila, 28, stopped at BevBox on Parker Avenue before driving a black BMW toward a nearby apartment and the Rodeo waterfront. A vehicle followed her after she turned toward the waterfront. She was shot in the neck by a rifle, reached a nearby resident's front door seeking help, and died minutes later. Investigators have interviewed friends and family over two years without identifying a motive or suspect. Avila worked at an auto collision company and a restaurant, left behind a 7-year-old son, and had planned to meet a boyfriend that night. Authorities are requesting public tips.
