It seems like a case of wrong place/wrong time. Whittier Daily News is reporting that the house Chelsea Markovich was shot at was being used to sell methamphetamine. There's probably never a right time to be there. She didn't live there but was hanging out. The killer was looking for someone else but starting shooting when everyone ran over the fence.

The intended target most likely knows who was taking shots at him so Chelsea's murder shouldn't be too much of a mystery. Whether or not anyone shares that information with the police is unknown.

RIP.
