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.

Three male suspects wearing dark clothing with their faces covered were seen entering the store. The suspects immediately fled the business after the shooting, possibly on foot. 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.

The FBI and Prince Williams County Police encourage the public to view video surveillance taken during the attack and posted to Prince William County Police Department YouTube page.
