SAN RAMON – Police and the district attorney’s office have ruled that a
woman was acting in self-defense when she shot her boyfriend to death in
January.

Mysti Weidmann, 30, called police early on the morning of Jan. 22 to
report her boyfriend had been shot. When officers arrived at the
Thunderbird Drive house where the couple lived, they found 30-year-old
Aurelian “Larry” Iancu dead from a single gunshot.
??
Investigators questioned Weidmann, but released her while they looked
into her claim that she and Iancu had a volatile relationship and that
she had acted in self-defense.
??
An autopsy showed Iancu died from a gunshot to his chest.
??
Although the case was never formally filed as a criminal complaint, the
district attorney’s office reviewed it and determined it was a
justifiable homicide, said San Ramon homicide Sgt. Steve Warne.
??
“This appears to be a case of self-defense in a relationship that had
domestic violence,” he said.
