A teenage girl was shot dead in Arcadia on Thursday morning by a man she was dating, authorities stated. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Paul Anthony Cruz Jr., fled to Pasadena, where officials stated he shot himself as police prepared to contact him.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stated that Cruz had 'forced entry' into the Arcadia residence before the fatal shooting. A caller alerted police that a man inside had fired a gun, but he had left by the time officers reached the property.
