On August 9, 2009, 18-year-old Guadalupe Chama was found dead in the 18000 block of Soledad Canyon Road in Santa Clarita, California. According to Los Angeles County coroner's officials, she had been strangled with rubber tubing and was pronounced dead at 10:06 p.m. The coroner identified her as an 18-year-old Latina at the time of death.
Little public information about her life or the circumstances leading up to her death was included in the available report from coroner's officials. The brief account released by the Los Angeles Times' Homicide Report noted the cause and location where she was found but did not provide details about possible suspects, witnesses, or the broader investigative steps taken after her death.
As of the published account, there is no record in that report of an arrest, charge, or resolution in Chama's death. The case remains recorded as a homicide by the coroner's office with the basic facts of manner and cause documented, but the publicly available item does not indicate any subsequent developments, arrests, or a closed investigation. No tip line or contact information was provided in the coroner's notice summarized in the report.
