A Santa Monica woman is lucky to be alive after a domestic incident turned violent Sunday evening near Virginia Park.
Jeremy Gonzalez, 29, was charged with attempted murder, domestic violence and making criminal threats after being apprehended by Santa Monica Police officers on the 2200 block of Virginia Avenue.
Per SMPD spokesperson Rudy Flores:
“Officers were called to the attempted stabbing at about 8:44 p.m. in the 1900 block of Cloverfield Boulevard, but when they arrived, the suspect had run from the area on foot. Gonzalez was later found inside a car in the 2200 block of Virginia Avenue, but when officers tried to take him into custody, he ran off again.
Police set up a search perimeter and deployed a K-9 officer, while a LAPD helicopter searched the area. Gonzalez was eventually found and taken into custody.
Gonzalez was treated at a hospital for a cut to his hand he sustained while jumping over a fence, police said. He was booked on suspicion of attempted murder, domestic violence and making criminal threats, and is being held on $1 million bail.”
Initial reports on social media indicated that the suspect was wanted in connection with a shooting incident, Flores said.
