Santa Ana PD 2013-17495: Supplemental Report by #2836 Page 3 of 3 <br />preliminary investigation into this case. <br />I observed the decedent to be encased in a white body bag inside the autopsy room. Once <br />the bag was opened, I observed an adult Hispanic female inside. The decedent resembled <br />the photograph of Jessica Gonzalez. The decedent was placed on the table, nude, in a <br />supine position. I saw a coroner's toe tag on her left foot. The decedent's hands were <br />encased inside brown paper bags. I observed the body to have numerous small bruises, <br />predominantly on her lower extremities, consistent with intravenous drug use. The <br />decedent's left chest cavity was visible through a thoracotomy incision. I observed <br />various items of medical paraphernalia attached to the decedent from medical <br />intervention efforts . Once flipped over, I observed a tattoo across the top of her upper <br />back/lower neck, which read "mi vieja Aurora" and a tattoo of a Precious Moment <br />figurine on her right rear shoulder. I also observed apparent gunshot wounds throughout <br />the decedent's upper torso. <br />Dr. Davenport told us that Gonzalez died as a result of gunshot wounds. Dr. Davenport <br />identified four gunshots to the decedent. One gunshot was to the right forearm, which <br />broke the bones in her forearm . Bullet fragments were seen in the X-ray but not removed . <br />The next gunshot entered on the top of the right biceps, exited the inner right biceps, and <br />re-entered the body at the right armpit. The next gunshot entered at the right rear shoulder <br />and exited the left flank. The last gunshot entered at the left back and exited the lower <br />right back. The gunshots described are not in sequential order. Dr. Davenport removed a <br />bullet core and bullet fragments from the lower spinal column. The projectiles were <br />retained as evidence by the Orange County Sheriff-Coroner Department. <br />The post-mortem examination concluded at approximately 1230 Hours. <br />Investigation continues. <br />Detective J.
