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.
