The woman whose body was found in a parked car Thursday afternoon in Newhall has been identified by officials from the county coroner’s office.

Jazmin Gonzalez, 22, of Newhall, has been identified as the woman whose body was found in a car parked on a street in the Happy Valley section of Newhall, said Lt. David Smith of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.

Gonzalez had not been examined by officials with the Coroner’s office as of Friday morning, Smith said. The cause of death has not been determined.

Gonzalez was not the occupant of the house which the car was parked in front of on the 22400 block of Shadeland Drive, officials said.

Robert Hadnot, a Shadeland Drive resident, said he saw the car parked on the street when he left for work at 3:30 a.m., approximately 13 hours before the discovery was made.

  5. She was an amazing girl. We will all miss you jazzie ❤️

  6. Really a serial killer! Lol! Wow people are found dead all the time but doesn’t mean that they were murder. Sad that she passed she was too young. And it may just be an accident like the article stated.

  7. Andrew Carlson was this by you??

  8. There is a “serial killer” loose and it is called addiction and substance abuse.

  9. no serial killer. Most all deaths in SCV have been attributed to suicide, health problems, drug overdose, etc… Calm down people. Poor girl. She was so beautiful and so young

  10. She was beautiful and looks familiar. Where did she work?

  11. Nancy Stern says:

    I heard that no foul play was suspected and that they were leaning towards an accidental death.

  12. Erika Harvey says:

    So most of them have been overdoses ? Drug related? But have most of them been found in their cars..

  13. Erin Fernandez says:

    Dam so hard to believe Jazzie u gone R.I.P much love

  17. Oh Jazmin. You sweet girl. I’ve known you since you were in kindergarten, will miss your beautiful smile and loving heart. RIP. Sympathy and prayers to your family.

  18. Back in 1997 scv was one of the safest cities no crimes no graffiti now it’s worst than Compton what’s happening the city is full of criminal ‘s and drug dealers. ..need to hire more cop’s to clean up those type of activities instead of writing traffic citations.

  19. Descansa en paz. Angelito mío!???

  20. Really sad. So many places to go for help, how can we get young kids like to to just raise their hand and ask?

  21. HoseB says:

    Hey I use to live on that street. Always saw cars that did not belong in the neighbor hood just parked for hours.

  22. Amy Guerra says:

    How very tragic she was young and beautiful. My prayers go out to her sister Joanna.

  23. Erika Harvey says:

    Does anyone follow this site and know how many people have been found dead in their cars??

  24. It looks like it was probably suicide, poor thing. Her FB looks like she was struggling.

  25. Ick says:

    Her bf of a whole died a couple weeks ago. A bottle as found in her car. My prayers go out to you jazzy and your family. I’ll miss you. You were so fun to be around :/

  26. This is so sad.
    Jonathan.
