SAN DIEGO -- On Sunday, June 19, 2005, five transgender females in San Diego paid Sammia "Angelica" Gonzalez, 39, to inject silicone into their hips, buttocks, cheeks and lips, police said.
The procedures were intended to enhance the victims' physiques, police said. Several hours later, two of the females became ill and were transported to a hospital. Their conditions deteriorated, and both women are now on life support. One of the victims is not expected to live.
Gonzalez left the residence in which the procedures were performed when the victims began to feel ill, according to police.
Gonzalez is not a licensed medical professional in the State of California. "There are indications Gonzalez injected other women in San Diego during the same weekend and may have done so in other California cities," the lieutenant said.
Gonzalez's residence is in Lynwood, Calif. San Diego Police Department Homicide detectives served a search warrant on the residence on June 23, 2005. Gonzalez's whereabouts are unknown. When she performed the procedures in San Diego, she was reportedly driving a red Chrysler PT Cruiser, police said.
Persons with information about this suspect can remain anonymous by calling San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-TIPS (8477).
You could be eligible for up to a $1,000 reward.

Patrick Confused by Formula One Boss's Remarks
Ecclestone Compared Women to 'Domestic Appliances'
INDIANAPOLIS (June 22)-AP - Danica Patrick is upset at Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone and confused by his comments likening women to "domestic appliances."
"I just didn't make sense of it," said Danica Patrick of Bernie Ecclestone's controversial comments.
Patrick received a telephone call from Ecclestone last week during which he congratulated the Indy Racing League rookie for her performance at the Indianapolis 500, but also reiterated remarks he had made during an interview at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where the U.S. Grand Prix was being held.
Among the comments Ecclestone made in the interview and to Patrick was that "Women should be all dressed in white like all other domestic appliances."
"I just didn't make sense of it," Patrick said during an IRL teleconference this week. "I was surprised, I guess, somebody would say that to me. And the days after, when it actually came out in the press, people were asking me 'What do you think of that?'
"I was like, 'You know what he told me? He said that on the phone.'"
Patrick said some of Ecclestone's comments were positive and complimentary, which made the exchange more perplexing.
"I can't believe that he would say it to me over the phone, not to my face, but directly to me," she said. "I was a bit confused... So I don't really know what to think about it.
"I don't know if he was talking about someone else or the majority or what, I'm not really sure. Or, maybe that's his real feeling.
"If that's the case, then you know, (it) doesn't really matter because I'm racing in the Indy Racing League."
Last month, Patrick became the first woman to lead a lap at the Indianapolis 500. She finished fourth, the best finish by a female in the 89-year history of the race.
Ecclestone did not immediately return a call to his London office. Patrick was on the road Wednesday, traveling to Richmond, Va., where she will race Saturday night.
Ecclestone has made controversial remarks about women before. He told Autosport racing magazine in 2000 that women could not compete in Formula One, but if one did, "she would have to be a woman who was blowing away the boys... What I would really like to see happen is to find the right girl, perhaps a black girl with super looks, preferably Jewish or Muslim, who speaks Spanish."
