A man shot and killed a woman in San Pedro and then fatally shot himself, authorities said Friday.
Officers were sent to Gaffey and 36th streets about 8 a.m. Thursday after passersby found the pair dead in a van that was parked at a scenic overlook, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
The man shot the woman once and then turned the gun on himself, police said. The woman was identified as Rocio Avila-Argueta, 43, of Wilmington, said coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter. The man’s name was withheld, pending notification of kin.
Anyone with information on the case was urged to call LAPD Harbor Station detectives at (310) 726-7880 or (310) 726-7882; or (877) LAPD-247.
