POMONA >> A La Mirada woman was arrested after her former boyfriend was shot in the face during an argument late Thursday night, authorities said.

Just before midnight, officers were called to 1512 W. Mission Blvd. in response to reports of a man being shot.

Officers and paramedics found Jeffrey Goytia, 32, with a gunshot wound to the face, according to a police statement.

Goytia was treated at the scene and then flown to a hospital. Although his wound was serious, he is expected to survive, authorities said.

Investigators said Goytia told police he had been shot by his ex-girlfriend, identified as Jerica Caballes, 22, of La Mirada, with whom he had recently broken up. He reportedly told officers the two had seen each other Thursday and had been arguing the day before the shooting, police said.

With help from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies checked the area of the Cabelles home in La Mirada.

Deputies found her sitting in her vehicle near her home around 1:30 a.m. Friday, police said.

Caballes was booked into the Pomona Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and was being held on $1 million bail.
