Authorities were dispatched to the scene in the 1800 block of San Bernardino Avenue at around 10 p.m. after learning of a shooting in the area. 

When they arrived, they found "a female victim down on the porch of a residence suffering from an apparent gunshot wound," said Pomona Police Department Sergeant Iain Miller. 

Despite attempted life-saving measures, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. 

She has since been identified as Valerie Macon, 60, of Pomona. 

One other woman was also wounded during the shooting, though her injuries were considered to be minor. 

Officers are now searching for the suspect they believe to be involved in the shooting, 62-year-old Pomona resident Darnel Dwight Haley, the ex-boyfriend of the victim.

"The motive for the shooting is believed to be due to the recent break-up between the victim and the suspect," Miller said. "The suspect is considered armed and dangerous."

Anyone with information on the case was urged to call police at (909) 620-2085.
