No One Heard Gunshots or Saw Shooting of Couple at Fancy Condo. No Video from Parking Lot.
Two of the victims, Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence (in photo) - who recently got engaged to be married - were found shot to death inside Lawrence's car last Sunday night in the parking garage of the Avenue One condominiums in the 2100 block of Scholarship around 9:10 in Irvine.
Police said Lawrence and Quan appear to have been shot where they were found, in the car in the open-air top level of the structure. However, the time of their death remains unclear - it was obvious, police said, that they had been dead for some time. It did not appear that they had been robbed.
The Orange County coroner said each died of multiple gunshot wounds. Jim Amormino, a spokesman with the Orange County Sheriff's Department said "No further information will be released at this time." He would not elaborate on the cause of death, or give information about how many times the engaged couple had been shot and where on the bodies the wounds were , citing the ongoing investigation.
Witnesses did not hear the gunshots or call 911 at the upscale condominium complex where they lived (Irvine is considered to be one of the safest cities in America). A passerby called police after seeing Lawrence's body slumped over in the car, police said.
Entry into the parking structure requires a key-code and there are security cameras throughout the complex, a resident said, adding that some spaces are allocated for overnight guests. [MORE] No video has been released.
No One Saw him Shoot Riverside Cops
Riverside police said two of its officers were shot in an ambush at Arlington and Magnolia avenues in Riverside (in photo) early Thursday morning (according to his alleged manifesto he is mad at the LAPD - not Riverside cops). Officer Michael Crain died, the other was taken to a hospital. Although, Police claimed Dorner did it, there were no witnesses. Riverside police said they believe Dorner drove up to the officers' vehicle, which was stopped at a stoplight, and fired at the officers with a rifle. No details or other facts have emerged to support this "belief." [MORE] Crain had been on the Riverside force for 11 years, according to Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz.
Police learned of the shooting when a "Good Samaritan" picked up a police radio and made a distress call on behalf of the wounded officers, Riverside police say.
