On Nov. 6, 2021, Maez was driving with her husband Matthew back from a family barbecue on Academy Boulevard. Matthew said they were cut off repeatedly by a man driving a dirt-bike-style motorcycle. He admits he made a lewd hand gesture towards the motorcyclist, and that's when the altercation escalated.

According to the Colorado Springs Police Department, the motorcyclist fired multiple shots into the Maez's vehicle, hitting Matthew and Jessica. After being shot, Jessica tried driving away but crashed into a utility pole at East Galley Road and Auburn Drive. She'd later died from her injuries.

Police later released a photo from a surveillance camera that caught the motorcyclist moments before the shooting. The suspect was seen on a yellow, white, and black dirt bike and was wearing all-black clothing and a helmet. You can see that picture above.
