A 15-year-old boy is in custody after a Beaumont woman died Monday from a fatal shooting that took place over the weekend.

Officers responded to the Florida Park Apartments in the 900 block of Florida Avenue Sunday morning in reference to shooting that occurred, according to a news release from the Beaumont Police Department.

When police arrived, they found Monica Landrio, 41, with multiple gunshot wounds. An Ambulance transported her to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

“Investigators learned there was fight at the apartments involving a large crowd with juveniles involved,” the release said. “Witnesses advised the victim fired a round in an attempt to break up the fight. A male juvenile fired several rounds and struck the 41 year old female victim.”

Police said the teen left the area, but was later arrested and brought to the juvenile detention center and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
