URGENT UPDATE: Rising Latin music star Maria De La Rosa, known as DELAROSA, has been tragically shot and killed in an ambush-style attack in Northridge, Los Angeles. The incident occurred early on November 22, 2025, when the 22-year-old singer was inside a parked car with two other individuals, both of whom are now in critical condition.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), witnesses reported seeing two male suspects approach the vehicle and fire multiple rounds. The attack left DELAROSA dead and has sent shockwaves through the Latin music community.
“The suspects are still at large,” the LAPD stated, urging anyone with information to come forward. This marks the second killing of a young Latin artist in recent months, following the murder of Fede Dorcaz, aged 29, in Mexico City in October. Dorcaz was shot multiple times, with one bullet striking him in the neck, leading to his immediate death.
The LAPD is currently investigating the motive behind this violent act, which remains unclear. The loss of DELAROSA, who had just released her new single “No Me Llames” in August, highlights a disturbing trend in the violence against Latin artists.
This devastating news resonates deeply, not only for fans but also for the broader artistic community that values the rich contributions of Latin music. As details continue to unfold, the urgency for justice grows. Authorities are intensifying efforts to locate the suspects and ensure safety within the music industry.
What happens next? Fans and fellow artists are mourning the loss, and the community is coming together to demand answers and justice. As the investigation progresses, updates will be critical for those following this tragic story.
Stay tuned for further developments as LAPD continues its search for the suspects involved in this shocking crime.
