Although Natalie died at the scene [Yolo County] as a result of being shot multiple times; her body was transported to UC Davis Medical Center [Sacramento County] where she was pronounced.
"I can tell you that I haven't see anyone work harder in a part-time capacity and be more motivated to be a police officer than Natalie." Davis Police Chief Darren Pytel .
The suspect ran from the scene, prompting a manhunt throughout downtown Davis. Multiple law enforcement agencies responded to assist, surrounding a home near 5th and E Streets.

She had a ring, black with blue center, like the blue line. She wore it on her ring finger because 'I'm married to the job' she would say." - Tessa Corona, relative of Natalie Corona.
