Cristina Peña, 26, of Santa Paula, California, was shot in the head on July 14, 2019, in the 1100 block of East Ventura Street. Officers found her unresponsive and she was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, where she died of her injuries.

Police focused on Peña’s then-boyfriend, Jahshua Jarrett, who was at the scene. Authorities say the shooting occurred during a struggle in which Peña tried to wrestle a gun away from Jarrett, who was reportedly attempting to take his own life. Jarrett, 21 at the time, was detained, arrested on suspicion of murder, later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and faced a maximum of 11 years in state prison; he remained in Ventura County jail without bail during the legal process.

The case is a stark example of a domestic dispute that turned deadly. If anyone knew Cristina, her movements that day, or has information about the incident, please share what is known.
