Breanne Hanna, a 25-year-old white woman, died of gunshot wounds on Monday, Feb. 2, 2009, at Avenue 31 and Humboldt Street in a Lincoln Heights alley, according to coroner’s records.

Hanna was found dead in her car, said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the L.A. County coroner’s office. He didn’t know her city of residence.

Police went to the scene about 7:15 p.m. after residents reported hearing gunshots, said Officer Karen Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department. Hanna had been shot several times, Smith said.

A witness told police she saw a man standing next to Hanna’s car shortly before hearing gunfire, said LAPD Officer Sam Park. A motive for the shooting has not been determined.
