Anaheim, CA: Boyfriend arrested after woman shot dead

ANAHEIM – The boyfriend of the woman shot to death in a home on Saturday has been arrested on suspicion of killing her and anyone with information on the case is asked to call authorities, Anaheim Police Sgt. Bob Dunn said Sunday.

Officers responded to reports of gunfire at a residence in the 2100 block of East Banyan Street in Anaheim at about 2:29 p.m. and arrived to find Nicole Gutierrez, 20, with at least one gunshot wound.

Emergency personnel pronounced her dead at the scene.

The initial investigation indicated that Gutierrez's boyfriend, Samuel Oscar Montes, 20, had been at the scene at the time of the shooting but fled before emergency personnel arrived, Dunn said.

Officers later contacted, interviewed, arrested and booked Montes on suspicion of murdering Gutierrez, Dunn said.

Montes remains in custody at Central Jail in Santa Ana in lieu of $1 million bail and is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, online records show.

Full details of the incident are still under investigation, Dunn said.
