Police: Husband of woman found shot to death in Galloway charged with her murder

Angel Gomez, 44, was found dead Monday afternoon in a driveway of a home located on Pepperwood Court.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An arrest warrant was filed Tuesday for a Galloway man accused of shooting and killing his estranged wife outside the home they once shared together, according to police. 

Angel Gomez, 44, was found dead Monday afternoon in a driveway of a home located on Pepperwood Court.

The Columbus Division of Police said in a release that the woman's husband, identified as 49-year-old Jose Antonio Gomez-Santana, lured her there by promising to return some of her things. 

The couple, according to police, had been separated for several months and Angel had moved out of the home.

Police said Jose was hiding in a parked vehicle in the driveway that afternoon waiting for Angel to arrive. When she pulled up to the home, police said Jose shot her several times and then ran from the scene.

A warrant was filed Tuesday charging Jose with murder.
