Monrovia woman arrested after man subject to restraining order found shot to death in home

MONROVIA, Calif. (KABC) — A man was found fatally shot outside a Monrovia home Friday evening after apparently showing up with a knife to the home of a woman who had an active restraining order against him, police said.

The woman called Monrovia emergency services just before 9:30 p.m. to say the man was at her home and armed with a knife.

By the time the police arrived, he was dead.

“Officers responded immediately and found the man deceased with a gunshot wound,” the police statement said.

His identity was not immediately released.

It was not immediately clear who shot him or what led to the shooting. Police briefly arrested two people at the scene, including the woman who initially called 911. A gun was also entered into evidence. No arrests have been made.

A hunting knife was also found at the scene, on the ground, a few meters from the man’s body.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Division was notified of the incident and took control of the investigation, police said.
