The Los Angeles Police Department says charges are expected to be filed Monday against the ex-wife of the Woodland Hills doctor who was murdered outside his office in August.
Ahang Mirshojae, 53, is suspected to be one of several people accused of playing a role in the killing of the doctor, according to police.
Mirshojae was arrested and booked on suspicion of murder after investigators spent hours searching her home in Calabasas, on Thursday.
Court records show Mirshojae and her former husband have been enmeshed in several expensive legal disputes for years, including ongoing fights in 2024 over the resolution of their divorce from more than a decade ago.

Months before his death, Dr. Mirshojae also won a nearly $6 million judgment against a former lawyer.
Investigators have not confirmed that any of those events were connected with the murder.
The attorney for the ex-wife did not want to share any information or comment on the case.
