Norma Riveiro and Lorena Bourdevaire-Casillas of NBC News San Diego <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsandiego.com\/news\/national-international\/pacoima-shooting-death-woman-ex-boyfriend-killing-ice-lapd\/2497074\/\">report<\/a> that police identified Herbert Nixon Flores as the person who shot 35-year-old Karen Ruiz in the Pacoima suburb of Los Angeles County on January 8. Flores had committed multiple crimes since entering California illegally in 1990, including drug trafficking, theft, illegal possession of firearms and identify theft. He had been deported 10 times. Flores was arrested last August for severely beating Ruiz, but under Gasc\u00f3n&#8217;s policy of not holding criminals charged with assault, he was released days after his arrest.

When he realized he was being tracked, he abandoned his car and continued on foot.
