The city coroner recently reported that a missing juvenile who was found dead on a San Francisco street months ago may have been sexually abused around the time she died of a drug overdose.
Victorria Moran-Hidalgo, a 16-year-old who had been in and out of foster care, was discovered lifeless in the early morning hours of Feb. 18 in the 600 block of Minna Street.
The death in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, which is known for homelessness and extensive drug misuse, was initially examined as a possible overdose, but the circumstances surrounding it were questionable.
16yrs Old Victorria Moran-Hidalgo Cause Of Death
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, an autopsy report released recently indicated that she died as a result of numerous substances in her system, including fentanyl.
The manner of the teen’s death, however, was classed as unknown.
On Feb. 18, a witness reported seeing the teen “during the course of a potential sexual assault.” According to a police report, when the caller drew closer, the man with Moran-Hidalgo disappeared.
The adolescent did not regain consciousness and was pronounced dead after the witness provided Narcan, an emergency medicine intended to try to quickly reverse an opiate overdose.
Her body was discovered half nude and in public view, according to the medical examiner. She noticed slight bruising on her legs and torso, but no other symptoms of trauma.
Two copper-colored metallic bullet fragments were discovered in her calf during an examination, indicating she had previously been shot. There was no evidence of sperm in the swabs.
In September 2021, Moran-Hidalgo was reported missing in Stanislaus County by a social worker. In January, she was reported missing from Kern County, where she had escaped from a group home.
The shocking finding of her half-naked body on the street sparked a public outcry about San Francisco’s widespread drug problem at the time.
The police union chastised leftist San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin for tactics it described as ensuring same-day release for an army of drug dealers and trivializing enforcement laws to hold dealers and gang leaders accountable.
