Man Suspected Of Gunning Down Mother Of His Child Outside Hawthorne Police Station Arrested

A 31-year-old man suspected of shooting and killing the mother of his child Sunday evening during a child custody exchange at the Hawthorne Police Station is in custody.

At around 6 p.m., Jacob Munn shot and killed 27-year-old Brenda Renteria of Simi Valley as she was entering the police station, located at 12501 S. Hawthorne Blvd., Hawthorn police report.

Munn dropped off his 17-month-old child inside the police station before grabbing a shotgun out of his pickup truck and returned to shoot Renteria, police said.

As the mother was approaching the front door of the police station in order to go in and take custody of the child, Munn approached from the parking lot and shot her, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department reports. He then jumped into his truck to drive away.

As he was trying to speed away, an officer came out of the station and more shots were fired, the sheriff’s department said. Neither the suspect nor the officer were struck. It’s unclear which of them fired their weapons.

[...]

Munn abandoned his vehicle about four blocks from the station and fled on foot. After an over three-hour search involving SWAT officers and K9s, he was captured in the 4400 block of 134th Street at around 9:30 p.m., the sheriff’s department reports, just under a mile from the police station.

What balls. Right at the police station.
Fortunately this didn’t end worse, it easily could have.
ETA: imo, he could have killed many more innocent people.

How stupid can you get? In front of the PD? Another case where now the child is going to have NEITHER parent ever again in its life, thanks to insane actions of one the way it sounds.

I surely hope the charges that can be levied against him will guarantee that he never sees his child again. (Premeditated murder, child endangerment, discharging an illegal weapon near a police station, having a loaded weapon in his car without a license to carry)

Such a coward. Even has a crucifix hanging from the rear view mirror of his vehicle.

He’s gonna lose that polo shirt and that nice watch, as well as that truck.

Shun him, throw him in the darkest deepest jail and throw away the key.

Not balls.

Pure and utter cowardice and clearly an abusive spouse. A cheap little puny coward that has to use a weapon to brutalize a woman.

Coward, coward, coward. No balls here at all

I dont understand your last sentence. She's dead.

I know, I’m glad no LE or other civilians were killed. He could haven went much further, imo.

Too bad he didn't take himself out instead.

Well I would say they have him dead to rights so to speak. There will be plenty of video I imagine surrounding a police department.
