Shooting Victim Recalled Fondly

Everyone loved Johanah Wade, colleagues tell KCBS. Her 25-year-old husband reportedly shot her Friday in their Laguna Niguel apartment, but the circumstances remain under investigation and no arrest has been made.

The 24-year-old dental assistant who was reportedly killed by a single gunshot fired early Friday by her husband was "loved by everyone," her stunned colleagues told KCBS-TV on Monday.

Johanah Wade's 25-year-old husband was questioned and released after the shooting, but remains a person of interest in the case, authorities told the station.

Jim Amormino, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman, told Patch Tuesday morning that the autopsy on Wade was performed over the weekend, and that investigators would turn their results over to the Orange County District Attorney's Office, which will decide whether to prosecute anyone in the case.

Meanwhile, her former co-workers remembered her as hard-working and much-loved.

"She had the best personality anyone could ever ask for,” said one of her colleagues at Serene Dental Center in Irvine.

I hit enter in the comment and it posted - I wasn't done! Why would it post if you don't clickRead More "post comment"?! I read one story and the scrunched up left placement gave me a headache. The ad column on the right is way too big - too wide. If they made that smaller, swapped the "board" column and the news (so the news was in the middle), I think it would be easier to read.

With the ad block on the right and the boards info in the middle, it feels like the news part isRead More scrunched too far to the left.
