Sheriff's deputies arrested a woman Thursday in connection with a fatal shooting of a man outside of a laundromat early Tuesday morning in Lynwood.
Elizabeth Pulido, 38, was booked for murder and was held without bail.
Emilio Alejandre Jr., 36, was gunned down in the driveway of a 24 hour laundromat after arguing with a woman believed to be Pulido. She then pulled out a gun and shot him multiple times, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Joe Mendoza said.
Deputies said the pair were in a relationship and lived together.
"I'm hurt, I'm devastated," Sylvia Garcia, a friend of the victim. "He was a good guy."
Homicide detectives say surveillance video from the Free Dry Coin Laundry shows a woman arguing with the victim in the rear parking lot around 2:30 a.m. before she shot him at point-blank range.
"The female produced a handgun she fired multiple times at the suspect," said Lt. Joe Mendoza, of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau. "The suspect collapsed."
