<br />Local <br />Female Murder Suspect Killed In Santa Ana <br />Officer-In volved Shooting <br />June 23, 2013 2:24 PM <br />Filed under <br />Local, News <br />Related tags <br />Female, Officer Involved Shooting, OIS, Police, Santa Ana, Shooting, Suspect, Woman <br /> <br />SANTA ANA (CBSLA.com) — Authorities Sunday said a female suspect has died following an officer-involved <br />shooting in Santa Ana. <br />Santa Ana police Cmdr. Eric Paulson says the shooting happened shortly before 8 a.m. in an alleyway in the 800 block <br />of South Townsend Street after two patrolling officers confronted the woman. <br />“When they confronted the woman an officer-involved shooting occurred,” Paulson said. <br />The woman was taken to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead at 8:55 a.m. <br />The Coroner has not officially confirmed the identity of the deceased, but the woman’s family spoke out to KCAL9′s <br />Brittney Hopper and confirmed the dead woman is their relative, Jessica Gonzalez. <br />A makeshift memorial went up in the city of Orange where 44-year-old Jennifer Solario was shot and killed Thursday. <br />Gonzalez was a suspect last week in Solario’s murder, they were partners for 11 years. <br />“They were always out, [Solario] was always walking around, smoking a cigarette, walking her dog,” said Solario’s <br />neighbor Kevin Sandobal, “just pretty much talking to everyone around here.” <br />Gonzalez no longer being a threat to neighbors is a relief to Sandobal. He told Hopper, “There’s less pressure off of us, <br />knowing she isn’t coming back. She pretty much kept us indoors [after the shooting.]“ <br />“It’s not uncommon to hear gunshots in this area, but this morning it was very loud. It actually woke me up,” said <br />witness Brad Farrell. <br />No officers were injured. <br />(©2013 CBS Local Media, a division of CBS Radio Inc. All Rights Reserved.
