A Cuban man was involved in a tragic incident this week in Guanajuato, Mexico, that has left a community in shock. He fatally shot his partner and her mother before turning the gun on himself, resulting in his own death.
The heartbreaking events took place on February 19 in a home located in the Cerro Blanco area of Dolores Hidalgo, as reported by the State Attorney General's Office (FGE) to local media.
The victims have been identified as María “N” and Lucía “N,” a mother and daughter, while the shooter has been named as Randy “N,” a 44-year-old man who was in a relationship with the daughter. The nationalities of the murdered women have not been disclosed by the authorities.
According to the official account, Randy shot his partner multiple times during a heated argument, before turning the gun on his mother-in-law, shooting her as well.
Following the violent outburst, Randy reportedly exited the house and entered a neighboring building, where preliminary reports suggest he took his own life using the same firearm.
The local emergency services, after receiving reports of gunfire through the 911 system, dispatched Municipal Police officers and paramedics to the scene, discovering three individuals with gunshot wounds.
Paramedics confirmed the deaths of one of the women and the man on site. The second woman, the mother-in-law of the attacker, was alive but in critical condition. She was rushed to a hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries.
The reasons behind this murder-suicide remain unclear. "This is a regrettable event," stated the Attorney General's Office. The case is currently under investigation.
