Law enforcement officials announced on Wednesday that two individuals have been identified as victims of a suspected murder-suicide that unfolded inside a Korean barbecue establishment in La Habra. Police characterized the event as a “targeted attack.” Investigators reported that Jonathan Wang, aged 35, entered the Gui Gui 9292 Korean BBQ located on Imperial Highway at approximately 6:43 p.m. on Tuesday. Inside the premises, Wang shot and killed 45-year-old Jacqueline Medrano. According to La Habra police, after the shooting of his former partner, Wang turned the weapon towards himself and took his own life.

Further investigation has not yet identified any other suspects involved in this incident. Authorities state there is currently no indication of a broader threat to the public. No other individuals were reported to be injured in the shooting at the restaurant.
