A 43-year-old woman who was in critical condition for weeks following an alleged attack in Poway by her ex-boyfriend has died, sheriff’s officials said Friday.
Azucena Gonzalez Martinez died at a hospital three weeks after she was found suffering from traumatic injuries caused by a deadly weapon at a home on Brighton Avenue near Adrian Street on Aug. 11, sheriff Lt. Juan Marquez said.
Investigators believe the woman’s ex-boyfriend Jeronimo Cedillo, 38, forced his way into the home around 3 a.m. and attacked Martinez, investigators said.
He then fled the scene and his ex-girlfriend was taken to a hospital, where she died.
Sheriff’s officials said they believe Cedillo is known to frequent Los Angeles County, San Diego County and Mexico. There is a possibility he fled to Mexico, Marquez said.
Investigators said there is an active felony warrant for Cedillo’s arrest on suspicion of murder and other allegations, Marquez said.
Cedillo is described as being 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 200 pounds with brown eyes and black hair.
No other information was immediately available Friday.
