Mendez exited his silver Ford F-150 pickup truck and confronted Berghoff over how she parked her vehicle, police said. The argument then escalated to a physical fight.
Investigators said Berghoff cut or stabbed at the suspect with a pocket knife, creating space between the two of them. She then returned to her car and left the scene.
Police said Mendez then went to his truck and chased the woman until he caught up with her in the 8500 block of Rannie Road. That's when Mendez fired multiple shots into the driver's side of Berghoff's car, HPD said.
Berghoff was struck one time, causing her to lose control of her car, investigators said. Her passenger managed to stop the vehicle. Meanwhile, police said Mendez fled.
Paramedics pronounced Berghoff dead at the scene.

Since then, efforts to find and arrest Mendez have been unsuccessful.
