Extra patrol cars and detectives from the West Covina police department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department are setting up a containment near where a woman was shot to death late this morning.
Earlier this afternoon, bloodhounds were brought to the scene and apprently tracked a suspect to Prospero Street; K-9s were later brought in to further the search two properties on Prospero, where a suspect is believed to be hiding in thick trees and brush.
Among the areas cordoned off:
Cameron and Barranca
Cortez
Cameron and Grand
Prospero
The suspect was apparently seen running down the middle of Prospero. Bloodhounds tracked him in that same direction. Three blocks will be cleared in the cordon.
* A woman who reported a man in her backyard in the 600 block of Prospero has apparently just learned the man is a plainclothes deputy on the hunt for suspects.
*The containment is 6 or 7 police cars on Larkwood right off of Barranca there's a k-9 no visual, reporter Bethania Palma said from the scene.
