PARAMOUNT, Calif. (CNS) -- A woman was found shot to death in a vehicle Tuesday near the northbound Long Beach (710) Freeway in Paramount.
The vehicle hit a tree and went down an embankment and onto a grassy area near Rosecrans Avenue, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The woman, in her 30s, was found dead in the vehicle near the 6400 block of Rosecrans Avenue at about 2 a.m., and homicide detectives were sent to the scene, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Her name was withheld, pending
