More than 48 hours after the devastating domestic shooting that claimed the lives of Ulises Cabrera González, a Cuban national, and his wife, Susana Rosales Koris, in southwest Miami-Dade, many questions about the incident remain unanswered.
Authorities have yet to determine if the event was a murder-suicide or a double homicide. While some reports suggest it may have been an act of domestic violence, officials have not confirmed any specific theory.
The family has remained tight-lipped with the media, refusing to make any statements, while the usually serene neighborhood is in shock over an incident that has dramatically disrupted the community's routine, described by residents as a place where "nothing like this has ever happened."
An Afternoon of Horror in a Peaceful Community
The tragic event unfolded on a Saturday afternoon, just after 1:00 p.m., in a home located near Southwest 170 Terrace and 153rd Court in Miami-Dade County.
The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office responded to an emergency call about an injured man in a residence. Upon arrival, officers discovered Ulises Cabrera González, aged 44, and Susana Rosales Koris, aged 42, both suffering from gunshot wounds.
The Miami-Dade Fire Rescue team declared the couple dead at the scene.
"When our officers arrived, they found an adult male bleeding and another adult female also bleeding, both with gunshot injuries," stated Samantha Choon, spokesperson for the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Department.
Police sources indicated there were additional individuals present in the house at the time of the shooting, but details regarding their identities, relationships to the victims, or whether any witnessed the incident directly have not been disclosed.
Shattered Lives and a Devastated Family
Public records reveal that the couple had been married since 2013. He hailed from Havana, Cuba, and she was originally from Guatemala. They had resided at the property since at least 2020, according to county property assessor records.
They are survived by two young children, a daughter and a son.
It remains unclear if the children were present during the shooting or what their current situation is. What is certain is that this tragedy has left a family in ruins.
"It's heartbreaking. Two children and a devastated family remain. It's truly tragic," expressed Juliana Lescaiule, a local neighbor, to the local press.
Unconfirmed Speculations
Although some neighbors speculate the incident may have been a case of domestic violence—possibly with the husband shooting the wife before taking his own life—such claims have not been verified by authorities.
"I heard it was a homicide, something rare in this very peaceful area," remarked Elaine González, another neighborhood resident.
Several accounts agree that the neighborhood has not previously experienced similar violent incidents.
Telemundo 51 reported that, according to a neighbor's comments, the possibility of a domestic dispute leading to the incident is being considered. However, the Sheriff's Office has not provided details on possible motives or identified suspects.
The latest statement from authorities indicates the investigation remains open and it's still "too early to confirm if domestic violence was involved."
