Girl shot, killed in Arcadia; possible suspect later dies of self-inflicted gunshot wound
Authorities say the suspect fled Arcadia, then suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Pasadena about an hour later.
- On Thursday, a teenage girl was fatally shot inside an Arcadia home after 20-year-old Paul Anthony Cruz made "forced entry," authorities said; he was later found in Pasadena with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
- Arcadia Police Department officers responded around 11 a.m. Thursday to the 800 block of West Huntington Drive after neighbors reported hearing arguing inside the apartment complex before gunfire erupted.
- "We heard a woman screaming," neighbor Daisy Valdez said, describing blown-out windows at the scene; officers arrived to find the victim dead, though the suspect had already fled.
- Pasadena Police Department officers found Cruz near Arroyo Parkway and Glenarm Street with a self-inflicted wound; he remained in critical condition as of about 7 p.m., with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau leading the investigation.
- Authorities have not released the victim's name pending relative notification, and investigators urge anyone with information to contact the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
