Family members of a 73-year-old woman found dead in her home, possibly from a beating, said they have no idea why anyone kill her.

Amada Simbala was found Wednesday afternoon in her house in the 24300 block of Doble Avenue. She had lived in her house for 40 years. The street is located in an unincorporated neighborhood between Carson and Harbor Gateway.

Her son-in-law, Damion Garcia, said she had no enemies. Simbala lived with two male boarders who had resided there for 20 years.

"It’s shocking what happened,” Garcia said. “It was a very dear lady.”

We're waiting for an update from the Sheriff's Department.
