A search is underway for 24-year-old Marlon Alexander Pabon-Lopez in connection with the fatal shooting of 31-year-old Ivonne Lizeth Guerra Gómez in Mauldin, South Carolina. Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous. Investigators believe he may be driving a silver 2013 Hyundai Tucson with South Carolina license plate 492DAK, and they are asking the public to report any information that could help locate him.
Ivonne was found shot inside her home at The Townes at Brookwood on Stonebriar Street on October 30, 2026. Police and emergency responders arrived around 11 a.m., but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office later identified her as Ivonne Lizeth Guerra Gómez, 31. The Mauldin Police Department has since named Pabon-Lopez as the man wanted in connection with her death.
Authorities describe Pabon-Lopez as approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighing around 175 pounds. The silver Hyundai Tucson is the vehicle investigators believe he may be using. Police have warned that he is armed and dangerous and have urged anyone who spots him not to approach him. Instead, they want people to contact law enforcement immediately.
The case has also left Ivonne’s family demanding answers. According to her relatives, she and Pabon-Lopez had dated for several months before their relationship ended about a week before the shooting. A family-circulated reward notice is offering up to $5,000 for information leading to his arrest. The notice also says tipsters can remain anonymous.
But while investigators continue looking for the wanted man, Ivonne’s relatives are making sure people understand what was taken from them. Her sister described her as a loving, hardworking woman who cared deeply about others. Ivonne adored her pets and was especially concerned about animals that could not defend themselves. Her family says she had a generous heart and always had plans she wanted to pursue.
At the time of her death, Ivonne was working toward one of her biggest goals. She had recently graduated and was preparing to open her own beauty spa. She was 31 and had plans for places to visit, experiences to enjoy and more goals to accomplish. Her sister said there were still so many things Ivonne wanted to do, making her sudden death even harder for those who loved her.
Her mother was inside the home when the shooting happened. She reportedly heard a commotion and went to check on her daughter. The discovery left the family facing a loss they say has changed their lives forever. Ivonne’s siblings are now united in their call for justice, while also asking the public to remember her for her life, her character and the dreams she was working to achieve.
Her sister said the family wants people to know who Ivonne Liz really was, not just the circumstances of her death. The family has several siblings, and they say the killing has left them with unfinished plans and a painful absence that cannot be replaced. Their message is clear: they want justice, and they do not want Ivonne’s memory reduced to a police investigation.
Anyone with information about Pabon-Lopez’s whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Dodaro with the Mauldin Police Department at 864-361-1113. Anonymous information can also be provided through Crime Stoppers at 864-23-CRIME. Authorities have cautioned the public against approaching him because he is considered armed and dangerous.
“For Liz, for her dreams, and for the life that was stolen from her, we will continue to raise our voices until justice is served,” her sister wrote. While police continue their search, Ivonne’s family is left remembering a woman who had just begun working toward the future she wanted. They are asking anyone who knows something about her killing to come forward and help bring the search to an end.
