- Share via
A Westminster man who shot his father-in-law and then turned the gun on himself died Tuesday evening, police said.
Marcos Soria, 30, was pronounced dead at 6:55 p.m. Tuesday at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital and Medical Center after he was removed from life-support systems, police said.
Soria, upset because his wife had left him and returned to Mexico, went to the home of his father-in-law, Francisco Ramos, 56, Monday night seeking help in a reconciliation, according to Westminster Police Officer John Leahy. The two argued, and Soria allegedly shot Ramos three times before shooting himself in the head.
Ramos was reported in serious but stable condition Wednesday at Humana Hospital of Westminster.
