*I've added an update of the Google map that shows the approximate location of the gun and gloves. Note that the victim is not properly located on the map. I will try to fix this later. (some minor spelling errors have also been corrected)
A woman who was shot to death inside her West Covina home was identified as Hsiao Hsu, 45, by sheriff's officials.
Hsu had moved into the home at the intersection of Grand and Cameron avenues with her husband. The couple had two children who attended local public schools.
Channel 7 KABC has video tape of a gun being recovered from behind Hsu's home. Irene Marquez, who lives just across from where the gun was recovered said investigators also recovered a pair of gloves. She believed bloodhounds brought to the scene early in the investigation led detectives to the gun and gloves.
Reporters scrambled to get news from the area and neighbors drove by throughout the day to get a glimpse of Hsu's home.
Information about the case is leaking out all over town, even as investigators try to keep a lid on their information. The coroner's office has placed a security hold on the case, which means no information will be released. Sheriff's homicide detectives from around the county were called into the squad room in Commerce to help field phone calls.
Sources close to the case said there have been several tips in the case.
