In the early morning hours of May 20, 2026, multiple gunshots rang out in a residential Anaheim neighborhood on West Huntington Avenue. Officers arriving about 2:45 a.m. found a chaotic scene: five people in the house had been hiding in a room, and a suspect had barricaded himself inside. After a 45-minute standoff during which the nearby 91 Freeway was temporarily closed, the suspect surrendered.

Inside the home officers found 48-year-old Ruchunee Jenny Booncompar dead in the garage from gunshot wounds. A firearm was recovered in the front yard. The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Sir Edward Henee Daniels, was taken into custody and later charged with murder with an enhancement for discharge of a firearm causing death. Authorities describe the incident as a domestic violence homicide; no specific motive has been released and the investigation is ongoing.

If anyone knew Ruchunee, lived nearby, or saw activity on West Huntington Avenue that night, please come forward with information.
