HERADIA, JULIO: Why Did You Kill Me? TV - Cinemaholic online -
24 February 2006 8:45 a.m.: ‘We didn’t even make it pass the end of the street. There’s a guy with a hooded sweater, with a gun probably just a foot and half away from me, and bang, bang, bang. I look over at my sister [Crystal Theobald] and she was just motionless. Why Did You Kill Me? Justin, Belinda’s son, Netflix 2021
Why Did You Kill Me? is a true-crime documentary from Netflix directed by Fredrick Munk. It details the utterly random killing of 24-year-old Crystal Theobald as a result of gang violence and her mother’s relentless fight to catch the people who murdered her. By using MySpace, the mother tracked down people that were involved with the shooting leading to a big break in the case and, eventually, arrests and convictions …
Around 8:40 PM that night, as they were driving by an intersection, the car which Crystal was in was shot multiple times by someone who got out of a white SUV. Crystal was hit in the head, and Juan was hit in his stomach. Justin was unharmed. Crystal’s mother, Belinda Lane, who was in another car ahead of Crystal’s, had witnessed the shooting. While the suspects fled, Crystal was rushed to a hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries two days later. Back at the scene, multiple shell casings were collected, and an investigation ensued …
Once Belinda told police about William and the conversations on MySpace, they brought him in for questioning. In a voluntary interview, he told the police about the events from that night and gave the police a few more names of the people that were in his car at the time. The police let him go after his interview, and he disappeared shortly after. Equipped with more information, they started questioning other members of the gang who were present in the car that night, and Manuel ‘Tripper’ Lemus became an important witness.
While Manuel, a member of the gang at the time, was initially reticent to talk about the events of that night, he eventually went back and told the police what happened. It was stated that the gang members wanted to retaliate after one of them was shot at earlier by someone from a rival gang. At the intersection on the night of February 24, Julio ‘Lil Huero’ Heredia opened fire on the car with Crystal, mistakenly assuming that they were members of the rival gang, after which he left the scene with the rest of them. It was William Sotelo’s car that was used at the time, and he was the one driving it.
As a result, the authorities started looking for Julio, who was eventually arrested in Mexico. In 2011, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole for murder, attempted murder, and a few other charges. William Sotelo was at large for almost 10 years before finally being apprehended in Mexico as a direct result of a tip that Belinda had received on Facebook. He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Ultimately, ten people who were involved with the murder pleaded guilty through the years for a number of different charges.
