MIAMI, (Reuters) – A Cuban immigrant shot and killed four people including his estranged wife before taking his own life early yesterday in Miami, police and local media said.
A sergeant with the Miami Police Department’s homicide division who declined to give his name said the man, wielding a semi-automatic handgun, shot his victims inside a house in the city’s Little Havana district shortly after midnight.
He then sped off in a pickup truck and turned the gun on himself at his home, which he had apparently set on fire, about 3 miles (4.8 km) away.
“It was domestic-related,” the sergeant said. “The wife left him and he tracked her down, unfortunately.”
He declined to elaborate, saying the case was still under investigation.
But the Miami Herald said victims of the shooter, who had moved to Miami from Cuba about 10 years ago, included his wife, her daughter and her mother.
The daughter’s boyfriend was also killed, according to the newspaper.
Domestic violence and abuse comes in all shape and fashion and ethnicity, this is sad to know that life had to be taken for us to realize that domestic violence is real and needs to be a priority where women needs to be protected.
The evil one said to say hi to you and to continue your blog on world matters where he sees you fair and balanced unlike the others who are antiGuyana Governement.You know the worse part of all of this,it is when some wonmen leave how these bastards lay in waiting for being rejected.Very sad for this family.
Tragic indeed! What would warrant an act of such magnitude? What’s wrong with the men of today? There are more fishes in the sea man. Don’t resort to killing. He who fight and run away live to fight another day… Government and civil society need to arrest this global phenomenon before it gets out of hand. It’s raping us of our human resource and by extension hindering development. May God grant their souls eternal rest.
