FONTANA, Calif. (KABC) — A mother of two in Fontana was found murdered in her home on Monday. According to neighbors, her husband discovered her dead.

The victim was identified as 28-year-old Minerva Gonzalez of Fontana. Neighbors said Gonzalez was a very nice woman, and they’re stunned by the murder.

The victim’s husband went to work and according to neighbors, came home to find his wife dead inside their home in the 9200 block of Juniper Avenue at 3:39 p.m. He called 911, but when paramedics arrived, she was unresponsive with traumatic injuries. She was declared dead at the scene.

Neighbors said Gonzalez would always walk her two young children to and from school, but on Monday, she did not pick them up in the afternoon.

“Real nice lady, you wouldn’t think somebody would do anything to her like this,” said neighbor Alfredo Viayra.

Neighbors said the family had been burglarized over Thanksgiving. Police have not said if they believe the family had been targeted, or if Gonzalez was the victim of random violence.
