San Jose police said Friday they are searching for a man who fatally shot a 33-year-old woman in front of their young daughter and left the victim’s body in the street.

Kendra Gonzales, a Sacramento resident, was pronounced dead Tuesday evening after being found on the 1300 block of South Bascom Avenue with at least one gunshot wound, police said.

Gonzales was driving a car with the passenger and suspect, 25-year-old Andrew “Drew” Butler, when the two got into an argument and Butler shot her, according to police.

Butler then allegedly removed Gonzales’ body from the car and left her on the road. He told two passengers in the back of the car to get out and take his and the victim’s 1-year-old daughter with them, police said.

Officials said Butler should be considered armed and dangerous and may be in the Sacramento area, though he also has ties to Monterey County. Those with information can call police at (408) 947-7867.
