El linchamiento de Josefa tuvo lugar el 5 de julio de 1851 en Downieville, California, en el condado de Sierra. A lo largo de la historia, su nombre ha permanecido en el anonimato, se ha modificado o solo se ha mencionado su nombre de pila. Su nombre era Josefa Loaiza, pero con el tiempo se la conoció simplemente como Juanita. Fue la primera y única mujer mexicana linchada en California.
