A Southern California teen was arrested after his ex-girlfriend was found
shot to death in Long Beach.
The suspect, who was only identified as a 17-year-old male due to his age,
is accused of the shooting death of Justice Lopez, 21, according to the
Long Beach Police Department.
Lopez and the suspect were in a prior dating relationship but had broken
up, authorities said.
On Nov. 22, police responded to reports of an injured woman in the 900
block of Gaviota Avenue at around 11:42 a.m.
Arriving officers found Lopez lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound to her upper body.
Paramedics transported her to a local hospital where she was pronounced
dead. No suspects were found at the scene. Investigators later determined
a male suspect had approached Lopez inside her home and fatally shot her.
Detectives believed it was a targeted homicide.
On Nov. 26, the teen suspect was located on the 6100 block of Orange
Avenue where he was arrested for two unrelated no-bail warrants.
Following his arrest, detectives processed evidence and pursued leads on
the murder case which later identified the 17-year-old as the prime
suspect, police said.
The circumstances surrounding Lopez�s murder, including her ex-boyfriend�s motive, remain under investigation.
On Dec. 2, authorities presented the case to the Los Angeles County
District Attorney�s Office.
Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call Long Beach
homicide detectives Oscar Valenzuela or Michael Hubbard at 562-570-7244.
Anonymous tips can be provided to L.A. Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477 or online at lacrimestoppers.org.
