ANAHEIM – Police in Anaheim Wednesday were investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of a woman.
The Anaheim Police Department responded just after 8 p.m. Tuesday to a call of shots fired at Cypress and Vine streets, Sgt. Matt Sutter said. Another call of a car crash came in “simultaneously” in the 700 block of north Vine Street, about a half-mile away, Sutter said.
When officers arrived on scene they found the driver of the car that crashed had suffered gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, Sutter said. When the officers went back to the scene of the shots fired, they found evidence of a shooting and “put two and two together” and determined the victim got shot and drove a short distance before crashing, Sutter added.
The victim was identified as 48-year-old Charlene Lynn Zuazo of Anaheim, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Coroner’s Office.
