Read sourceExplore 54 documented Anaheim victim records, including 53 dated within October 15, 1996–October 15, 2026. Search names, years and locations, then inspect the supporting sources.
This archive now includes the 1997 Danell Johnson killing, the three victims of the 1999 West Anaheim Medical Center shooting, and the 2000 killing of liquor-store owner Haeng Shin Kim. Later cases include Kim O’Hara, Teresa Cervantes, Scott Miller, Melissia Ann Gonzalez and Oscar Humberto Chunmichicoj.
Kianna Jackson, Josephine Vargas and Martha Anaya were abducted in Santa Ana, but the prosecutor places their killings at an Anaheim body shop. They appear here alongside Jarrae Nykkole Estepp. Each woman has her own record. The archive links both Gordon’s 2017 sentence and Cano’s 2022 plea and sentence.
Ximena Meza and Juan Martinez have separate case histories. The Gathua-Carpenter mother and infant and the West Anaheim Medical Center victims are recorded individually, so the victim count differs from the incident count.
Records include Santos Castillo, Amado Francisco Lopez-Martinez, Edwin Richard Ramirez Hernandez and Jasmine Miranda. Discovery dates are labeled, and unnamed reports remain in a separate reconciliation queue below. Existing historical records before the requested 30-year window remain available.
Jasmine Miranda record · Enrique Gonzalez-Carbajal record · Tien Luu record · Charlene Zuazo record · Kenneth Wayne Swets record
The requested window is October 15, 1996 through October 15, 2026. Every year remains unreconciled with a complete police case register. The counts below describe this directory only. A zero means no named record has been added, not that nobody was killed.

California Court of Appeal (Justia) source ↗ FOX 11 source ↗Browse the years represented in the current directory. These are counts of records documented on this site, not official annual Anaheim homicide totals.
Statuses are dated snapshots of police, court or news reports. Arrests and charges do not establish guilt. A conviction may later change on appeal; a historic sentence is not a present-custody claim. The directory includes homicide cases with reported manslaughter outcomes and separately labels DUI-related murder cases.
Records are checked against official material and established reporting. Dates of discovery are distinguished from dates of attack. A source’s reported arrest or verdict is dated; no later outcome is assumed. Precise coordinates are left unset when the location is uncertain.
No. These 54 victim records are a research collection across multiple decades, not all homicides in Anaheim. The absence of a record does not mean a death did not occur.
Coordinates have not been verified. Written locations and source links remain available for every record.
Yes. Deonte Marquis Lenin and Elian Tanori Arvayo have individual records. The sources distinguish their injuries and the reported status of each investigation.
