Nancy Romero, 46, was shot and killed on July 11, 2019, in the 300 block of Magnolia Boulevard near the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse in Long Beach. She was found lying on the sidewalk around 8 a.m., transported to a hospital, and pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The Medical Examiner reported fatal gunshot wounds to her back; the bullet passed through her lung and heart.

Investigators say the shooter was a white man in his early 30s who ran from the scene on foot. Long Beach police identified the suspect as John Jay Osborne, 31, Romero’s boyfriend; surveillance footage reportedly shows the couple walking around the block after a heated argument at their Daisy Avenue home, and Osborne followed Romero armed with a handgun. Osborne surrendered to police five days later and was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Several others were charged with aiding Osborne after the fact. Romero’s family included a sister, Iris, who worked in homicide, and a son who survived her. Did anyone in the Long Beach community know Nancy’s routines or see anything the morning of July 11, 2019?
