Suspect in Garden Grove ‘love triangle’ shooting arrested

Tensions stemming from a love triangle led to a shooting in Garden Grove that left one person wounded and one suspect behind bars, police said Monday, Jan. 27.

Oscar Domingo Rodriguez, 23, of Anaheim was taken into custody Friday, Jan. 24, on suspicion of attempted homicide, Garden Grove Police Department officials said in a news release. Investigators believe he shot a man on the the 13400 block of Blackbird Street the prior evening.

The victim was taken to a hospital  in critical condition, police said. Garden Grove Police did not publicly identify him in their release, but said he may have been a part of a “love triangle” involving a woman and the man suspected of shooting him. Updates regarding his condition were not immediately available.

Investigators managed to identify a suspect vehicle, which led them to suspect Rodriguez in the shooting, police said. Detectives and members of the GGPD Crime Impact Team conducted surveillance at a warehouse he worked at in Orange and arrested him without incident Friday.

Rodriguez was in custody at the Theo Lacy Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail as of Monday evening, according to inmate records.
