DUARTE, Calif. (FOX 11/CNS) - A 39-year-old man was shot to death in Duarte as he was walking toward his home with his wife, and the suspect remains on the loose, authorities said Sunday.

He was later identified as Kirinda Lavar Morehead, of Duarte, according to Investigator Rudy Molano of the coroner's office.
