A Covina man who allegedly shot his wife in the face was charged Thursday with attempted murder and other counts.

Raymond M. Guerra is scheduled to be arraigned next month in a Pomona courtroom on a felony count each of attempted murder, injuring a spouse, assault with a firearm and discharge of a firearm with gross negligence.

The criminal complaint includes an allegation that Guerra personally inflicted great bodily injury on his wife under circumstances of domestic violence.

Officers were sent early Tuesday to the 1200 block of North Citrus Avenue shortly after midnight, said Covina police Sgt. Gregg Peterson.

“Arriving officers located a female to the front of an apartment building who was bleeding from an apparent gunshot wound to her face,” Peterson said.

Paramedics took the woman to a hospital in serious condition, Peterson said.

“Officers conducted an investigation and determined that the victim’s husband … was responsible for shooting his wife and he was taken into custody,” Peterson said. “A handgun was recovered at the scene.”

Guerra has remained in jail since his arrest early Tuesday, jail records said.
