Relatives of the victim  witnessed the shooting, that happened around 6pm on Sunday outside the Hawthorne Police headquarters.
Police say the suspect dropped off his child inside the police station around 6 p.m. before grabbing a shotgun out of his vehicle and returning to shoot the victim as she went to retrieve the child.
Lt. Ti Goetz said an officer who heard shots from inside the station rushed outside, spotted the suspect and opened fire.
Goetz said the shooter, whom police identified Monday as Jacob Munn, initially fled but was arrested in Hawthorne later that night following a manhunt.

The suspect reportedly used a shotgun to kill his ex, after which he fled from the scene, sparking a manhunt. He later abandoned his pickup truck [photo], half a mile from the police station 

The couple’s 17-month-old son was present at the shooting but was not physically hurt. He was reportedly inside the police station at the time.
‘I have 30 years with the department and I’ve never seen anything like this before,’ Lt. Scott Hoaglund said in a press conference on Sunday, according to KCAL.
‘Typically a police station is a safe place for people to make a child exchange and I would still recommend that people do that.’
A week before the tragedy, Munn posted on his Facebook page a photo of his son and wrote in the caption: ‘No matter what I will never give up on you…#RoyalMunnFamily #Family1st #NothinbutLOVE.’
On the day of the killing, he posted a cryptic status update that consisted of a single word: ‘.SOLID.’

According to investigators, Renteria had gone to the police station on Hawthorne Boulevard to pick up her son from the child’s father.
The victim was reportedly scared of what the baby’s father might do, and brought family members along with her to the police department to exchange custody of their daughter.

While standing outside the lobby of the police headquarters, the parents began arguing.
At some point during the exchange, Munn allegedly produced a shotgun and fired on Renteria, killing her just steps away from the front door of the police station.
He then jumped back in his black Chevy pickup truck and sped off, police said.

The vehicle, with a small cross hanging off the rear-view mirror, was later found abandoned in a Denny’s parking lot half a mile south of the police station, but the suspect was nowhere to be found.
