An 18 year old girl is shot in a home in New York City Woondys Marie Alomar was an 18-year-old Hispanic/Latina female from New York City. On August 30, 1992, her life ended in violence, and the first clear trace of what happened came not from a witness to the shooting, but from a passerby who noticed something terribly wrong inside a car parked on Highland Boulevard in Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills neighborhood.
The discovery was stark: Alomar was found slumped in the front bucket seats of a Cadillac, shot multiple times—wounded in the neck, the body, and the legs. Police believed the scene was a dump site rather than the place where the trigger was pulled, suspecting she had been killed somewhere else and then driven into Cypress Hills, where the car was left behind. According to reporting summarized from a contemporary Newsday account, the body was found around 2:55 p.m., and an NYPD spokesperson described detectives’ belief that the killing happened elsewhere.
In the fragments that remain publicly accessible, there are hints of the person behind the name. Records circulated online describe her as born in New York City on January 4, 1974, and note that she left behind two children. Those personal details sit uneasily beside the sparse official narrative, a reminder that the case is remembered in pieces—family history, a violent afternoon, and a parked Cadillac that turned an ordinary street into a crime scene.
What stands out just as much as the brutality is the silence that followed. In the online summaries and historical references that are readily available, no suspect is publicly identified, and no arrest, charge, trial, or conviction is described in connection with Alomar’s killing. The case is repeatedly characterized as unresolved, with investigators’ early theory focusing on the body being moved after death rather than pointing to a named offender.
