LAKE LOS ANGELES – A 63-year-old woman was found shot to death inside a Lake Los Angeles home Friday, authorities said.

The woman was found around 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at a home in the 15800 block of Greenrock Avenue, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

“Deputies from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station responded to a residence in the area regarding a welfare check call. When they arrived on scene, they discovered a 63-year-old female black adult victim had sustained a gunshot wound,” the news release states. “Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics responded to the location and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.”

A neighbor who did not want to be identified said the woman’s family members went to the home to check on her Thursday night because they hadn’t heard from her since Tuesday. No one answered the door and family members were unable to get into the home, the neighbor said. Deputies forced entry into the home Friday afternoon and that’s when the woman was found, according to the neighbor.

The woman’s name has not yet been released pending next of kin notification, coroner’s officials said Saturday morning.

Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).

UPDATE: VICTIM, SUSPECT ID’d

The victim has been identified as 63-year-old Cornelia Adrienne McIntosh, according to the Sheriff’s Information Bureau.

She was allegedly shot to death by her live-in boyfriend, 64-year-old John Revels of Lancaster. Revels is the main suspect in multiple shootings that left one person dead, two people in critical condition and one person in fair condition, according to a news release from the Hawthorne Police Department. [Read it here.]

Revels shot himself to death in his vehicle after it broke down Friday afternoon on Interstate 15 just north of Barstow, sheriff’s officials said in an updated news release. A handgun was recovered inside the vehicle, and the gun contained two expended shell casings, sheriff’s officials said.

According to the updated LASD news release, deputies from the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station made forced entry into McIntosh’s Lake Los Angeles residence around 2:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, after obtaining a search warrant. Local deputies were notified by Hawthorne police that Revels had shot two people in Hawthorne and one person in Los Angeles, and they suspected he had shot McIntosh, sheriff’s officials said.

  3. sorry for the victims and family —But at the same time am glad the killer killed himself so he wont hurt anyone else.

  4. This is all i have to say, that report is inacurate..and the neighrbor is noisey that doesnt even know whats going on….i am the son and i called the police when i havent heard from my father out of concern for then both of them, yes i am pissed that he would do somthing like this before u speak odlf me badly, so shut up before u speak up on somthing u know nothing about…

    • Im so sorry for your losses.. Mental health issues are very real and often misunderstood. I’m so sorry for the lack of understanding from the people that impulsively comment because they feel they HAVE to say SOMETHING, even if it’s a lie. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. I pray for you and your family. God bless

  5. Here we go again… another guy plugs a woman because he has to be a freakin’ control freak, only to end-up killing himself. At least he saved us some tax $$$ incarcerating him, court expenses, send him to death row where he will die of old age before his appeals even begin to run-out… just bein’ real here….

    • Really people always jumping to conclusions making asses of themselves u just (ass)UME he was trying to control her…… Smh. The man had mental and physiological issues dude. He killed people he knew. He shot and killed his brother it’s not about control. The issues this man had goes beyond control.

    • I agree with snapped episode…this kind of stuff is on the rise. All I can say is it is sad and I pray for the families. I am sorry for your loss.

  6. Why would it be part of a shooting spree hello the man drove all the way to lake LA to shoot someone I think not Dumbo’s it was someone out here probably some loser robbed her

    • If u don’t know the facts shut up. He shot her first and then killed two more people, so it is a shooting spree.
