Richard Paul Rodriguez was arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of a woman whose body was found in the trunk of a car outside a residence in Huntington Beach. The woman was identified as Christi Lynn Romero, 54.

When the officers arrived at the scene, they were met with a chilling sight – the lifeless body of a woman had been found in the trunk of a car, prompting investigators to deem that she died ""The Orange County District Attorney's Office and the Orange County Sheriff's Department-Coroner Division and Crime Lab also responded to assist," police said.

The bulletin included a photo of Romero's red, two-door sedan, a 1995 Plymouth Neon, that was believed to have been stolen. The photo appears to match the sedan in which the body was found in Huntington Beach. "It is believed that Richard Rodriguez may have forced his way into Christi's residence and forced her to leave," the bulletin stated. "Christi did have a 9mm pistol which is unaccounted for and is believed to be in Richard's possession."

Holbrook police noted that Romero had obtained a protective order against Rodriguez, and it was served on him on Nov. 2. Anyone with information connected to this case was asked to contact Detective S. McCollom at 714-960-8848.
