VENTURA, CA. — The victim in yesterday’s shooting at the Oaks Mall has been identified as 29-year-old Parisa Siddiqi of Thousand Oaks.
Siddiqi was shot and killed Saturday afternoon by her ex-husband while she was working at a retail store inside the mall.
The suspect, who has been identified as Kevin Crane, also of Thousand Oaks, turned the gun on himself after he shot Siddiqi. Crane survived his suicide attempt and is being treated at a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Police say the estranged couple had children but the children were found safe. “Their children are fine. They’ve been located at this time,” said Ventura County Sheriff’s Sgt. Eric Boschow told KABC.
