Twenty-eight year old Minerva Gonzalez, the mother of two sons, five and nine years old, was found dead in her Juniper Avenue home Monday afternoon. Her husband discovered her body when he returned home. She was unresponsive with traumatic injuries. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police say the home has signs of a break in, possibly a home invasion robbery. They say this possibly was not a random act, but the home may have been targeted. Robbers hit it twice before in the past few months, most recently on Thanksgiving.”
“Somebody came and stole the TV and things they have in the house,” said Sara Ramirez, one of Minerva Gonzales’s friends.
Friends say when she was not keeping a perfect home or taking her children to and from school Gonzalez was active at her Church in San Bernardino where she taught Sunday School. They say she had a sweet nature, and a sweet idea for her future.
“She loved to make home-made ice cream and she wanted to have her own business one day. She used to say…nobody could offer better ice cream than I would,” according to friend Meritza Aguirre.
Gonzalez and her husband had been married for 11 years. She was originally from Mexico, but she and her family long-called Juniper Avenue home.
Gonzalez's husband is not considered a person of interest or a suspect. An autopsy is pending.
