Woman Found Shot To Death On Pasadena Street

PASADENA Police say a woman was shot and killed on a Pasadena street Tuesday night.

The victim, identified Wednesday as 20-year-old Jennifer Avina-Ortega, had no known address.

Police Wednesday were trying to establish a motive for the crime.

Accoring to acting Pasadena police Chief Christopher Vicino, Avina-Ortega is Pasadena's second homicide in 2008.

Avina-Ortega was found in the 1800 block of East Villa Street about 9:50
p.m. Tuesday.

Police were responding to reports of gunfire and a female pleading for help, said police spokeswoman Janet Pope Givens.

She died about an hour later at a hospital, she said.

Anyone with more information about the killing was asked to call detectives at (626) 744-4522.
