Friday, Davis police chief Darren Pytel recounted the routine call that turned terrifying. He said the suspect took aim at Officer Corona after riding up to the scene of the crash on his bicycle, hiding in the shadows.

Pytel said the suspect then ambushed Corona with gunfire as she stood in the street wrapping up with the drivers. Corona fell to the ground with a single gunshot to the neck, but Pytel said the suspect continued firing, unloading a magazine from a semi-automatic handgun.

After that, police said the suspect reloaded twice more, firing off shots in all directions, including at a firefighter whose boot was hit.Corona was rushed to the UC Davis Medical Center, but was later pronounced dead. She was 22 years old. The scene was riddled with shell casings and bullet holes in a firetruck, a home, and a woman’s textbook inside her backpack.

A memorial full of flowers, candles and a large “Thin Blue Line” American flag is now at the scene.
