A shooting in Santa Clara, California, resulted in the death of a 44-year-old woman and the injury of a 20-year-old man. Police initially believed an unknown assailant was involved in a possible home invasion, leading to a shelter-in-place order. However, the investigation later revealed the suspect was a juvenile family member who was subsequently arrested.
One person was killed and another shot by a family member during an incident that led the Santa Clara Police Department to call for a shelter-in-place order in the city Thursday night. At 11 p.m., officers responded to reports of gunshots in the area of Santa Clara View Drive and Circle Drive. When they arrived they found a 44-year-old woman, Heather Ann Barela, dead and another victim, 20-year-old Brandon Alfred Barela, who was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Initial reports suggested an unknown assailant had entered the home during a suspected home invasion. Out of an abundance of caution, police sent a reverse 911 alert to nearby residents advising them to shelter in place during a search for a suspect. Further investigation soon revealed that there was not an unknown suspect and the order was lifted. One juvenile has been arrested and now faces murder, felony discharge of a weapon, and aggravated assault charges. The suspect and victims' names have not been revealed by police
