Public Safety Officer Keith Anthony Lawrence, 27, was shot to death on February 3, 2013, in Irvine, California. He and his fiancée Monica Quan were found in their car in the condominium parking structure; both had been shot through the vehicle’s windows. Keith suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the head, face, and neck; Monica was shot three times in the back of the head. Fourteen shell casings were recovered and the weapon was identified as a 9-mm handgun fitted with a suppressor, which investigators said kept the shots from being heard by neighbors.

Authorities named former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner as the primary suspect, citing his alleged grievances after being fired and a connection through Monica’s father, Randal Quan, who had represented Dorner in personnel proceedings. Dorner later killed additional officers during a multi-day series of attacks and died by a self-inflicted gunshot after a standoff in San Bernardino County. The killings of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan devastated their families and community.
