Authorities have arrested a 19-year-old man in Lake Elsinore on suspicion of murder after a Temecula woman was gunned down Wednesday afternoon, authorities said today.
Jose Adan Martinez was taken into custody in the 200 block of East Peck Street in Lake Elsinore, said sheriff’s Lt. Terry Hudson.
Deputy Melissa Nieburger said authorities have not determined the motive behind the shooting, but said the suspect did know the victim, who was identified Thursday as 20-year-old Maria Semental.
Officers responding to the call about 1:30 p.m. at the home in the 26000 block of Sonora Circle, found a woman inside her residence suffering a gunshot wound.
Medical personnel were summoned to the home and treated the victim before she was taken to a local area hospital. The woman was pronounced dead, Hudson said.

This shooting was down the street from my house, which is in a nice neighborhood. How sad that this young woman lost her life to this vile young man. What ever the quarrel was, it certainly was not worth the taking of a life. I hope he goes to prison for a very long time.
I have noticed that since the real estate bubble burst, we have had a lot more rental homes in our area which brings in the often not-so-great renters. With this has come an increased presence of police that I didn’t see several years back. Too bad they weren’t closer when this creep decided to murder. Glad he was caught though. Hope he rots.
I’m glad they finally caught him! I hope he rots and pays sevenfold for what he did to my Primita! Prima R.I.P.
i will be sure to be at his sentencing to see him rot in hell
Vaya! pues que habra hecho la tipa tan zorra como para haber recibido ese resutado. Lo mas seguro es que era una cualquiera y para que tenerla en este mundo.

Omg…I just can’t believe it. I’ve known him since we were in 6th grade. I pray he’s innocent and just afraid of gang retribution to do anything about it.
que triste que haya sucedido esto, pero me da m
how dare you come up on here and pray for him!! he’s not innocent! hes guilty you hear me GUILTY… his ugly a** was in the court room laughing about what he did to our precious friend. so go shove your words up your a**!!!anyone whos against the lost of our dear family member and friend should not even bother putting up your 2 cents.
maria my friend i love you mija and we’ll always and forever be here for you to support your life and to bring those who oppose to justice. take care mama and sleep well love.
my mom told me about this because my aunt was good friends with marias family…may she r.i.p and im sorry for the loss…and if hes laughin then he is definitely a murderer
Well how dare you assume that I am against your friend. If he actually committed this crime, then I do hope he gets what he deserves.
I have nothing against your friend and I am sorry for your loss, but you have to realize that there are more people effected than just you.
I don’t know the circumstances but I’ma pray for you too since you are such a rude person.
i met maria at work and i alwaz knew her as a nice girl. may she RIP. mi mas sentido pesame para su familia. and those who knew her plz let this b an example that sometimes life is too short so lets make the best of it and alwaz remember that theres a God thats watching all our move and we’ll all have a judment day. the question is r u ready for that day????
