Overview

• Police identified the suspect as California Closets employee Lucero San Pedro-Castro, 29, of Baldwin Park.
• Authorities say a 7:15 a.m. shooting in the California Closets parking lot left a male employee hospitalized in critical but non-life-threatening condition.
• Investigators reported that a second employee was fired upon during the Huntington Beach attack but was not hit.
• Officers in South Gate stopped a vehicle tied to the case around 9:30 a.m.; they say the driver produced a handgun, officers opened fire, and San Pedro-Castro later died at a hospital.
• Law enforcement sources linked the same car to both scenes, the Huntington Beach location remains closed as the company supports staff, and investigators have not detailed any relationship between the suspect and victim.
