Sofia Rodrigez-Urrutia-Shu (1998 – June 26, 2006) was an 8-year-old Australian girl who was murdered at around 4:10 pm in the disabled toilets in a Canning Vale shopping centre in Perth, Western Australia. Her body was discovered by her 14-year-old brother Gabriel Shu minutes after she disappeared. When Sofia did not return from the toilets, Gabriel looked inside and found the disabled stall locked; he was acknowledged by a man's voice. He then decided to check the carpark, and upon returning, saw a man running out of the toilet. The boy chased the man, but lost him in the crowd. Sofia's body was found naked in the toilet. She had a broken arm and leg.

21-year-old Dante Wyndham Arthurs has been arrested in relation to the crime. After his arrest, rumours spread suggesting Arthurs is in reality one of two boys convicted of murdering 2-year-old James Bulger in the UK more than 10 years earlier; Bulger's killers were given new identities upon their release in 2001, but the police have strongly denied any relation between either of them and Arthurs.
