A 20-year-old woman from Marina was shot to death more than 60 miles away from home inside a San Jose apartment, police said Wednesday.

The victim, Myla Thi Dang, died early Monday evening in the 600 block of S. 10th Street in San Jose, according to the San Jose Police Department.

Dang was pronounced dead at the scene after a caller at 5:07 p.m. told authorities that he heard “loud bangs” coming from inside the apartment, police said.

A preliminary investigation showed that the victim and the suspect — who police would not identify, citing their ongoing investigation — knew each other, investigators said.

Authorities did not elaborate and said Wednesday that they did not have a possible motive in the case.
