A woman was killed Saturday in a car-to-car shooting on the eastbound Foothill (210) Freeway in Arcadia, and part of the freeway was shut down for nearly nine hours while the California Highway Patrol investigated the death.
Witnesses began calling the CHP at 9:06 a.m. to report a solo vehicle crash involving a black Mercedes-Benz at the Baldwin Avenue off-ramp to the eastbound freeway, CHP Officer Vince Ramirez told City News Service.
“A car-to-car shooting had occurred,” Ramirez said.
The 36-year-old Monrovia resident was pronounced dead at the scene. CHP Officer Ramberto Salcido Jr. said. She suffered at least one gunshot wound.
The Mercedes crashed into the right shoulder sound wall as a result of the shooting, Salcido said. The victim was the only person in the vehicle,

A Sigalert was issued at 9:30 a.m. closing all lanes of the eastbound freeway at Rosemead Boulevard for the crime scene investigation. Traffic was routed off at Michillinda Avenue.
The HOV and No. 1 lanes were reopened about 3 p.m., the CHP said. The remaining lanes were reopened just after 6 p.m.

Do you have information on the gender and race of the person fatally shot? I need to know pls my cousin drives a black Benz and left to work at that approx. time and we can’t get a hold of her.
Authorities will only say the victim was a Monrovia resident. We certainly hope your aunt is safe.
