An impromptu memorial has popped up at the Thousand Oaks intersection where a pro-Israeli demonstrator was fatally injured Sunday.

Body was found in San Diego: Detectives there call it a tragic domestic violence case.

Detectives say the husband of a Santa Barbara County woman who was found dead in San Diego this week is the prime suspect in her death.

Leyva Garcia’s body was found in a SUV parked at a San Diego shopping center early Tuesday morning. San Diego Police detectives say it appears she died from some type of blunt force trauma.

The 32-year-old woman had been reported missing in Guadalupe on Sunday.

Investigators are asking for the public’s help in locating her husband, German Armando Luna Salazar. They are calling the death a “tragic case of domestic violence.”
