Celina Ramirez Rubio, a 49-year-old resident of Whittier, California, tragically passed away on May 29, 2022. According to reports, she died from multiple gunshot wounds. The incident occurred at her home on Lockheed Avenue, where police responded to a call about gunshots. Upon arrival, they found Celina deceased at the scene. Her husband, Juan Rubio, was also found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the face and was subsequently taken to the hospital.
The investigation revealed a
history of domestic disturbances between Celina and Juan. There were prior calls to the police, including one on March 31, 2022, when Celina reported an argument with her husband. However, no arrests were made at that time. Another incident occurred on September 1, 2015, but again, no report was filed as Juan had left before the officers arrived.
Following the fatal shooting, Juan Rubio was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife. His bail was set at $2 million, and he was scheduled to appear in court on June 6, 2022. The case drew significant attention due to the tragic nature of the incident and the couple's history of domestic issues. The community mourned the loss of Celina, who was remembered fondly by friends and family. A GoFundMe campaign was set up to help cover the costs of her memorial and to support her children during this difficult time.
