FILE - This undated photo provided by the City of Fontana, Calif., Police Department shows 45-year-old Anthony John Graziano. Graziano, the fugitive in a Southern California slaying, was killed in a shootout Tuesday, Sept. 27, 2022, with law enforcement in the high desert after he allegedly fled with his 15-year-old daughter, authorities said.
While many questions remain regarding Tuesday's gunbattle, police in Fontana — where Graziano's wife, 45-year-old Tracy Martinez, was killed Monday — offered some details about the family's life before the bloodshed erupted this week. Fontana police had not received any reports of domestic violence at the home before the slaying, Surgent said, and child services had not been involved with the family. Neither parent was on probation or parole at the time and investigators believe Savannah was being home-schooled while she lived with her father, whom police said liked to camp out in the desert and mountains in his pickup truck.
Martinez got out of the truck — potentially to escape — and Graziano opened fire on her with a handgun, striking her multiple times, Surgent said. The shooting on the street near an elementary school during morning drop-off forced students and parents to duck for cover.
