Police say the incident occurred at an apartment complex around 2:30 p.m. when a 22-year-old man allegedly jumped onto the balcony of the apartment from a staircase and began attempting to break in by kicking out the glass.

A woman, identified as 20-year-old Jordin Miranda Castillo, called 911 at that time, according to Glendale police.

Moments into the call, the man allegedly fired "several" times into the home, striking Castillo and two of her friends.

All three women were transported to the hospital, where Castillo was pronounced dead.

Another woman, a man, and Castillo's 2-year-old child were also in the residence at the time of the shooting.
