20-year-old Monserrat Colorado killed in Costa Mesa shooting
The Costa Mesa Police Department (CMPD) is actively investigating a fatal shooting that occurred late Monday night, resulting in the death of 20-year-old Monserrat Colorado, a resident of Huntington Beach.
At approximately 11:10 p.m. on June 2, 2025, Costa Mesa Police Communications received multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire and a person down in the 1500 block of Lukup Lane.
Officers arrived on scene within minutes and located a young woman on the sidewalk suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
Officers immediately administered emergency medical aid until Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue personnel arrived and took over life-saving efforts.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead due to the severity of her injuries.
Although police initially withheld her name to preserve the integrity of the investigation, officials have now confirmed the victim as Monserrat Colorado.
Preliminary information suggests that Colorado may have known the suspect, who remains at large.
Authorities have not yet released a description of the individual, and no arrests have been made.
CMPD detectives are actively pursuing leads and are urging members of the public to come forward with any relevant information.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident, has surveillance footage from the area, or has other details related to the case is encouraged to contact Detective Stocking at (714) 754-5392 or Sergeant Jacobi at (714) 754-5352.

ROBESON COUNTY, N.C. — A late-night party in eastern North Carolina turned deadly early Sunday morning when gunfire erupted, leaving two people dead and 13 others injured, according to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office.
Sheriff Burnis Wilkins confirmed that deputies were called to the scene on Dixon Drive, just outside the town of Maxton, at approximately 3:00 a.m. following reports of a shooting at a large outdoor gathering attended by more than 150 people.
When deputies arrived, chaos had already unfolded — witnesses said over 150 individuals fled the area before law enforcement could secure the scene.
Authorities identified the deceased victims as Jessie Locklear and his son.
Several other victims sustained critical injuries and were transported to area hospitals for emergency treatment.
Sheriff Wilkins stated that, based on preliminary findings, the shooting appears to have been an isolated incident, and there is no ongoing threat to the wider community.
The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from multiple agencies, continues to investigate the circumstances that led to the violence.
Detectives are working to determine the motive and identify all parties involved.
Authorities are urging anyone with information—or anyone who attended the gathering and witnessed the incident—to contact the Robeson County Sheriff’s Investigators at 910-671-3100.
