LOS ANGELES — The last message John Denardo received from his daughter came from a phone number he didn't recognize.
Her cellphone had been stolen, she wrote, but she promised to see him in the next few days with a gift in time for his birthday.
About a week later, Faith Leighanne Rose Asbury was the only victim still breathing when paramedics entered an RV on a dirt lot in Mojave where four people had been shot. The 20-year-old was rushed to Antelope Valley Hospital, where she died the next day.
