On March 31, 2019, at approximately 3:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the 600 block of West 14th Street to assist the Long Beach Fire Department with a deceased male and female adult in what appeared to be a crime scene.

When officers arrived on scene, they located a deceased female adult with multiple stab wounds to her upper and lower torso and a deceased male adult with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to his upper torso.

The incident is currently being investigated as a murder-suicide that occurred inside the residence.

The victim has been identified as 43-year-old Blanca Dominguez of Long Beach and the suspect has been identified as her husband, 38-year-old Oscar Montoya of Long Beach. Dominguez and Montoya were initially found by family members who were concerned for their well-being based on recent communication from both individuals.

Two firearms and a knife were recovered from the scene. There were no previously reported incidents of domestic violence between Dominguez and Montoya and the couple did not have any children. A motive for the shooting is unclear and the investigation remains ongoing.
