Officers responded to 911 calls about gunshots at a parking lot in the 8400 block of Decatur Street around 8 p.m. and found a woman who had been shot inside a vehicle.
The woman was taken to the hospital and later died. She was identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office as Maria Ines De Luna Ojeda, 34. The cause and manner of her death are under investigation.
Westminster police on Thursday said the shooting was a carjacking that turned deadly and identified Romero as the suspected shooter and Fernandez as the driver.
