Coca-Romero was murdered at the Platanillos Grocery and Jewelry located at 14342 Jefferson Davis Highway in the Woodbridge area of Prince William County on Feb. 21, 2014, shortly before 9:00 p.m. A second store clerk, a 42-year old woman, was also shot and wounded during the attack.

Two additional individuals, a customer and another employee, were also inside the store at the time of the incident and were unharmed. No property or money was taken during the incident. Both victims were employees of the business.
