A Rancho Santa Margarita man suspected of fatally shooting a Carlsbad woman during a carjacking on Friday was later killed in a shootout with Orange County law enforcement, authorities said.
Carlsbad police responded to reports of gunfire just before 10 p.m. Friday at an apartment complex in the 2300 block of Rising Glen Way. Officers found an unresponsive woman with gunshot wounds.
The victim was identified as April Moore, 50, of Carlsbad. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene after lifesaving efforts, police said.
Investigators said a male suspect stole Moore’s vehicle before fleeing the scene.
Shortly after midnight Saturday, a license plate reader alerted Laguna Beach police that the stolen vehicle was in the area. Around 1 a.m., Newport Beach officers located the car near Newport Coast Drive and Pacific Coast Highway, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
The suspect, identified as Andre Anthony Matijasevic, 31, of Rancho Santa Margarita, opened fire on police vehicles near Interstate 5 and El Toro Road, deputies said. He then continued eastward toward an In-N-Out on Avenida de La Carlota while shooting at officers, striking several police vehicles.
Matijasevic was shot and fell to the ground. Officers rendered medical aid before he was taken to Mission Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, authorities said. No officers were injured.

Saving the taxpayers money.
“He then continued eastward toward an In-N-Out on Avenida de La Carlota...”
Those In-N-Outs are notorious for shootouts with the cops! Time close them down!
I remember her saying, though I was only a small boy at the time, that her guns were not registered and never would be.
She was so brilliant that, though she came from a modest background, she became extremely wealthy, because of her high intelligence, practical way of dealing with things, and good judgment.
Her beauty came from deep within. She glowed with light.
Her life was spectacular.
She left her children and grandchildren extremely wealthy. Some of them married into some of America's richest, most powerful, and most celebrated and esteemed families.
GOOD!
There’s another evil-doer who won’t be set free by a liberal judge to commit more crimes.
Yep, time for some common sense In-N-Out control.
One less scumbag to deal with
I wonder what his thought process was, could it have been: “Gee I’m 31 already, tired of it all, I think I’ll carjack someone, kill them then drive up the coast and have a shootout with the cops ending my misery.”
