Central California mother dies three weeks after being shot by her boyfriend
Reporting from Tulare, Calif. — Authorities say a Central California woman shot by her boyfriend as she held their baby has died.
The Fresno Bee reported Thursday that Michelle Mosqueda, 39, had died the day before, three weeks after Larry Zamora, 37, shot her and their 14-month-old daughter.
The child died three days after the Oct. 13 incident at a home in Tulare. Zamora killed himself the same day during a 12-hour standoff with deputies.
Zamora was a known gang member with a violent history, the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office said.
After the shooting, Zamora went to a home several miles away and he barricaded himself inside.
During the standoff, Zamora fired from the home and hit a police officer who was saved by his helmet.
The standoff ended after deputies sent a robot inside the house. It showed them an image of Zamora lying dead in a pool of blood next to a high-powered rifle.
