California Woman Kidnapped After Parking Lot Shooting
Authorities in California are launching an investigation into a shooting that led to the abduction of a woman, according to reports.
According to the Whittier Police Department, officers responded to the parking stalls of Penn Park shortly after midnight on Sunday after a man reported that an armed suspect approached his vehicle — occupied by him and a female passenger — and fired gunshots in their direction.
“The male witness ran from the location and upon his return, discovered blood near his vehicle and [that] his female companion was missing,” Whittier PD said.
The missing female was identified as 19-year-old Andrea Vasquez.
According to police, she is 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighs 103 pounds and has brownish-red hair and brown eyes.
She was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve crop top, khaki pants and black low-top Converse shoes.
Vasquez has a tattoo of the name “Edlyn” on the back of her neck, the Aries constellation on top of her right hand and a belly button piercing.
Police are urging anyone who was at Penn Park between 11 p.m. on Saturday to 1 a.m. on Sunday to contact the Whittier Police Department on-duty watch commander at 562-567-9255.
