Fatal shooting of 18-year-old mother by Long Beach school safety officer investigated as homicide

The fatal shooting of an 18-year-old woman by a Southern California school safety officer last month is being investigated as a possible homicide, police said Thursday. Manuela "Mona" Rodriguez, who had been declared brain dead after the Sept. 27 shooting, died Tuesday after she was removed from life support, her family said.

Because of her death, "detectives are now investigating this matter as a homicide," the Long Beach Police Department said in a statement.

Rodriguez donated organs to five people, according to her family's attorney Luis Carillo. She "gave a heart, a liver, lungs, and two kidneys to save the lives of 5 people," Carillo said, according to CBS Los Angeles.
