Murder in San Juan Capistrano

(Delani Taft/Lariat)

In the late hours of Jan. 14, many neighbors on Cedar Grove Ct. in San Juan Capistrano called 911 to report domestic disturbance in their neighbors home. Deputies arrived shortly after to find a female, deceased. The victim was a 45 year-old mother with multiple stab wounds.

This victim was pronounced dead at the scene. The victims alleged husband, who is approximately 50 year-old, also had multiple stab wounds in an attempted murder-suicide. The male was treated for his wounds and taken into police custody.

The parallel street, Lakeview road, was blocked off with caution tape from Village road. to Country court, leaving many neighbors in shock and disbelief.

“She was a nice lady, always kept to herself and it’s really a shame this happened here.” said neighbor Joe Garsen.

“I was shocked to see the state of the neighborhood when I came home last night. Sometimes we see the occasional cop car drive by, but never lining the street like this before. It was a scary sight to come home to.” said neighbor Sabrina Venezuela.

The mobile police command post was set up in the early morning of Jan. 25 and stayed stationed there until around 10 a.m. the same day.

This investigation is still pending release of the victims name until next of kin and family have been notified.
